Grigoryan Brothers
Since their first acclaimed Australian national tour in 2002 (when Leonard was 16), Slava and Leonard Grigoryan's performances have astounded audiences worldwide. In this time they have released three duo albums, completed three Australian national tours and several international tours through Europe, USA, UK, Asia, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates.
They have performed with symphony orchestras and at international festivals in Australia and Europe. Although regarded as Australia's finest classical guitar duo performing much of the standard guitar repertoire, their passion is to expand this repertoire through new arrangements, their own compositions and commission from contemporary composers. As a result the Grigoryan brothers' performances include forays into genres including Latin, jazz, folk & contemporary music.Â
Fuelling this diversity is the brothers' joy of improvisation, which, when combined with their technical virtuosity adds a new and exciting dimension to concerts.Â
The program for this concert includes classical and traditional pieces as well as tracks from their latest release ‘Distance' (Which Way Music) featuring originals, commissions and works by Australian and international composers including Nigel Westlake, Ralph Towner, Wolfgang Muthspiel, their father Edward Grigoryan, William Lovelady and more.
It is this capacity to step outside the norm whilst never compromising their musical integrity, nor the integrity of the music, which has earned them a large and devoted following.
