The Opal Guitar Quartet pemed at the 3rd South Korean International Guitar Festival in 2017 and recently performed at the Sydney Guitar Summer School in the beginning of 2018. The group is a large advocate for promoting Australian music and is looking forward to working with local composers in the near future.
