Having been enchanted by playing music together, Ante Skaramuca, Frano Matusic and Maroje Brcic, the guitar teachers at the Music School of Dubrovnik, formed the Dubrovnik Guitar Trio towards the end of 1992 . Soon after founding the ensemble, they began giving concerts on the stages in Croatia and abroad (France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Russia, Spain, Sweden and United States of America, drawing the attention of both the audience and the reviewers. Since such a guitar trio is not a conventional music ‘body’, original works for their repertoire are quite rare; therefore, the backbone of the programme of the trio is created by transcriptions of compositions originally written for other instruments and ensembles, and arranged by Frano Matusic. Today there are more and more renowned composers, such as Zeljko Brkanovic, Niksa Njiric, Ivo Josipovic and Philip Bracanin whose works The Dubrovnik Guitar Trio has had the honour to premiere..
