Guitarists Slava and Leonard Grigoryan are counted amongst the finest musicians of their generation.
The Grigoryan Brothers enthral audiences with the energy of their performances and the breadth of their repertoire, embracing genres such as classical, jazz and contemporary music from around the world.
Slava and Leonard have been touring internationally as a duo since 2003, with regular performances throughout Europe, Asia, Australia and the USA. They have released 13 albums and, between them, garnered four ARIA Awards and a further 24 nominations.
Their deep appreciation of a broad spectrum of musical styles has resulted in many musical collaborations, both written and improvised. Combine this with their classical training and the result is a unique sound incorporating all these influences. Their diverse repertoire continues to present new opportunities for performances in traditional and unconventional settings, from orchestral projects to duo performances in iconic classical venues such as London’s Wigmore Hall and Royal Albert Hall, and Vienna’s Konzerthaus.
Their ability to perform in disparate genres has resulted in invitations from arts, jazz and folk festivals, as well as performances in more intimate spaces such as clubs and salons. They have toured throughout the USA, the UK and Australia as support for Canadian singer/songwriter k.d. lang on her 25th anniversary tour: Ingénue Redux.
Slava and Leonard are blessed with an uncanny ability to perform so seamlessly as a duo that they play and ‘breath’ as one. Growing up and performing together does not guarantee a symbiotic relationship, but what does create the perfect storm is the mutual respect and admiration the brothers have for each other. Perhaps this is the intangible quality that creates their ability to connect with listeners.
