Guitarist Ken Murray graduated with the degree of Master of Music from the University of Melbourne in 1994. As part of his postgraduate studies, Ken researched the life and works of Spanish guitarist and composer Angel Barrios.

He has performed around Australia, including guitar festivals in Frankston and Darwin, ABC Radio, Brunswick Music Festival, Concierto de Aranjuez by Rodrigos in New South Wales, and the John Adams opera El Nino at the 2002 Adelaide Festival.
