Regarded as one of Australia’s finest guitar duo’s, the Grigoryan Brothers will take audiences to another dimension at council’s Venue 114 at 7.30pm on Friday 29 March.
Slava and Leonard Grigoryan take the classical guitar into genres such as jazz, folk and contemporary music while drawing emotion and connection to crowds with every note.
While it is their individual and combined artistry that brings the music alive, they are forever grateful to the composers and arrangers who have provided the framework from which they speak.
For this performance, Slava and Leonard are honouring those past, present and future who have provided the fuel for their fire by performing some favourite works from their back-catalogue of recordings.
They will also be performing their own compositions and arrangements, including a selection from the soundtrack to the movie A Boy Called Sailboat, which they wrote and recorded and is due for global release in 2019.
The movie has already won a number of awards, including best Best Director and Best Screenplay at the prestigious Boston Film Festival.
Audiences will also hear works from Slava and Leonard’s next recording project of Handel keyboard suites, masterfully arranged for them by their father Edward, which is to be released in late 2019.
Tickets are $40 per person, $35 for concessions, $25 for tertiary and high school students. To book, visit www.venue114.com.au or call 5413 1400 (phone charges do apply).
Venue 114 is located at 114 Sportsmans Parade, Bokarina. Event parking is free and public transport is available nearby.
