The Riverside Guitar Ensemble is resident at the Queensland Conservatorium and brings together Queensland’s finest young professional guitarists with current guitar students from the Conservatorium guitar department. The ensemble is directed by Karin Schaupp and has performed extensively at festivals and in concert series in Queensland and Northern NSW. It is rare and challenging for a guitar ensemble of this size to perform unconducted, making it function much like a chamber orchestra and resulting in a very strong sense of communication amongst all members. Riverside continues to challenge the boundaries of repertoire for this unique ensemble combination. The ensemble’s premiere recording of “Ginastera’s Dream” by Brazilian composer Chrystian Dozza has been internationally released on Dozza’s new CD. The ensemble has also appeared alongside the internationally acclaimed ZOO Guitar Duo (Holland) and continues to premiere and commission new works, including a new work to be premiered at the Adelaide Guitar Festival and written for Riverside by acclaimed Australian composer Gerard Brophy.
