Raffaele and Janet have been active in the Sydney Classical Guitar scene over the last three decades, beginning with the founding of the Sydney Guitar Quartet in 1981, a group that performed extensively for a period of over 10 years and was the first ensemble of its kind in Australia. In 1996, they formed the Sydney Guitar Trio with fellow guitarist and composer Richard Charlton. They have been featured artists at several International Guitar Festivals and have taught and performed in Argentina, Italy, the UK, Vietnam, New Zealand and the USA. Raffaele and Janet share a strong interest in the development of the guitar as an ensemble instrument, and together with colleagues Richard Charlton and Christopher Keane, they have been the driving force behind the Classical Guitar Society’s annual Summer School for the past 25 years. Janet is currently a PhD Candidate at UNSW researching Transcriptions for guitar ensembles. Raffaele and Janet play guitars by Australian luthier Greg Smallman and Sons.
