An Evening of Classical Guitar with the Grigoryan Brothers
VIEW EVENT DETAILSSlava and Leonard Grigoryan are Australia's foremost guitar duo. Both brothers are highly accomplished musicians in their own right. They have been performing professionally as a duo for eight years (and have been playing together since Leonard was four years old). This partnership has taken them around Australia many times. They have also performed in Russia, Austria, Estonia, Japan, Malaysia, South Africa, India (where they performed in the Delhi International Arts Festival in 2009), the UAE, and in the
UK, where they had their Wigmore Hall debut in 2006. They have worked with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, the Academy of Melbourne and performed at the Melbourne International Festival of the Arts, and the Brisbane Festival. Together, they have released four CDs: Distance (2009), Impressions (2007), Rodrigo Concertos (2006) and Play (2003).
Coming from an eclectic musical background, the Grigoryans have always regarded improvisation as an important part of their musical language. Their passion is to expand the classical guitar repertoire through new arrangements, commissions, and collaborations with contemporary composers as well their own compositions. They have received rave reviews for their performances in Australia and abroad. This is the brothers' second visit to India; they are very enthusiastic about building links on the subcontinent.
