Grigoryan Brothers- Past, Present & Future
ABOUT
With a repertoire spanning centuries, continents and genres, amazing telepathy and the ability to draw emotion from every note, Slava & Leonard Grigoryan are justifiably regarded as Australia’s finest classical guitarists.
It is not uncommon to hear painters, sculptors, writers and musicians speak of how their art flows through them, not from them - they are mere conduits. And so it is for the Grigoryan Brothers whose performances are marked by an intangible connection to the soul of the music they play. They are so ‘in the moment’ that the term mindfulness seems at odds with their state of mind – more to the point, they are free of thought and allow the music to just be.
While it is their individual and combined artistry as well as their compositional prowess that brings the music alive, they are also forever grateful to the composers and arrangers who have provided the framework for their performances.
For this performance, Slava and Leonard are honouring those who have provided the fuel for their fire.
Past: Favourite works from their vast back catalogue of recordings – from Bach to Towner, from Tchaikovsky to Lovelady.
Present: Their own compositions and arrangements from their last two releases: the soundtrack to the award-winning movie ‘A Boy Called Sailboat’ and their collaboration with the National Museum of Australia ‘This Is Us: A Musical Reflection of Australia’.
Future: Audiences will have the opportunity to hear works from Slava and Leonard’s latest recording - to be released in 2024 – a selection of compositions penned specifically for the brothers by friends from all over the world.
