International Guitar Ensemble

The International Guitar Ensemble (IGE) was founded in 2008 from members of 'Riddle String Trio' (Italy) and the 'Contemporary Guitar Ensemble' (Mexico). Leonardo Requejo (CGE) and Jacopo Bertacco (RST) first met in Italy at one of Robert Fripp's Guitar Craft courses in 2002. After completing several of these intensive courses, the two toured worldwide with The League Of Crafty Guitarists. Since then they continued working separately in Italy and Mexico, where they founded the two ensembles. The International Guitar Ensemble album 'Live in Europe' [2011] is the outcome of two tours the IGE carried on in Italy and Germany in 2010 and 2011 featuring the ensemble’s work both live and in the studio.
