The Back Bay Guitar Trio is an exciting new ensemble that has made an immediate impression on the New England music scene.
The group formed in early 2002 when David Newsam invited former student Steve Marchena and his duo partner John Mason to perform as a trio.  All three guitarists are respected educators and performers with extremely diverse musical interests. These talents blend themselves in a unique way within the trio. Combining improvisation and humor with dedication and precision, the BBGT create a new and exciting approach to the classical guitar trio while still respecting the long-standing tradition.  
   The group's repertoire ranges from J.S. Bach, Fernando Sor, and Mozart to twentieth century composers Astor Piazzolla, Paulo Bellinati, and George Gershwin.  The ensemble performs arrangements of songs by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Dave Brubeck and has also premiered works by Boston-area composer Ed Hyman.
    The Back Bay Guitar Trio has performed at Dartmouth College, Longy School of Music, Berklee College of Music, The House of Blues in Cambridge, and at the world renowned Boston Hatch Shell.  The BBGT have also been featured artists in the North Shore Leider concert series in Rockport, Massachusetts with soprano Marlies Kehler, and opened for jazz great Al DiMeola at the Lebanon (NH) Opera House.
