Having graduated with their degrees in music from Greece and Spain, guitarists Kostas Tosidis, Giorgos Pervolarakis, Tanausu Luis Diaz and Alejandro Diaz Bandres are currently doing their postgraduate studies at the Universitaet Mozarteum Salzburg in Austria. Their strong impulse to engage directly with audiences, in harmony with the creative atmosphere of the university, led them to form the Miscelanea Guitar Quartet in April 2007. Since then, the quartet has received constant guidance and support from renowned teachers such as Mathias Seidel, Eliot Fisk, Maria-Isabel Siewers de Pazur, Μarco Tamayo,Ricardo Gallen, Simone Fontanelli and Martin Mumelter.
Their repertoire consists of well-known works by contemporary composers, including Leonardo Balada, Ian Krouse, Dusan Bogdanovic, Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR), as well as original compositions performed, and some of them recorded, for the first time by the quartet Miscelanea. These are:
· “Staubzucker” Marios Joannou Elia (2007)
· “Αpophis” Marios Joannou Elia (2008)
· “Μusas y Musicas” Agustin Castilla Avila (2007)
· “Caged Music 4” Agustin Castilla Avila (2008)
· “Atem Pause” Mayako Kubo (2008/09)
(This last work was written especially for the quartet, after they had won the special prize in the International Competition for Interpretation of Contemporary Music, Salzburg,Austria, April 2008.)
