Guitar Trek
The pioneering work of this group has seen the development of a specially made family of guitars of different sizes and an exciting new repertoire for the medium.
Guitar Trek's strong popular appeal has led to immense success, with two best-selling CDs available on ABC Classics and regular touring overseas and in Australia for Musica Viva. A third Guitar Trek CD was also recently recorded by the ABC for release in 2000.
