Bangkok--7 Feb--Australian Embassy
The Australian Embassy, Bangkok proudly presents a guitar concert by Australia’s foremost classical guitarists: The GRIGORYAN Brothers - SLAVA and LEONARD. The concert will be held at the Small Hall of the Thailand Cultural Centre on Saturday, February 26, 2010 at 1930 hrs. The concert is presented as part of The Bangkok Guitar Fiesta that will run over three days from 25-27 February. The Grigoryan Brothers will also give a workshop that will be held at the Conference Room 1 of the Thailand Cultural Center on Sunday, February 27, 2010 from 12.30 to 14.30 hrs.
Slava and Leonard Grigoryan were born in Kazakhstan and now live in Australia. Individually and together they have been featured with many of the world’s leading orchestras such as The London Philharmonic, BBC Concert orchestra, The Royal Scottish National Orchestra as well as numerous tours with the Australian Chamber Orchestra and all of the Australian Symphony Orchestras.
The Grigoryan Brothers are constantly expanding the boundaries of guitar performance through new arrangements, their own compositions and commissions from contemporary composers. Their performances include an eclectic repertoire including Latin, jazz, classical and contemporary music. Fuelling this diversity is the Brothers’ joy of improvisation, which when combined with their technical brilliance, adds a new and exciting dimension to concerts.
As part of The Bangkok Guitar Fiesta, the Grigoryan Brothers are set to dazzle audiences in Bangkok with the skill and virtuosity that has earned them a devoted international following. The Grigoryan Brothers will travel to Vietnam as part of the Asia tour. More information www.bangkokguitarfiesta.com
