Beloved ARIA Award-winning guitarists Slava and Leonard Grigoryan return to UKARIA to perform their latest album in concert, as well as favourite pieces from previous recordings. Amistad – their most recent Decca-released disc – is a tribute to the musical connections yielded by their twenty-year career. Each piece on the program has been created for the brothers by composers encountered during their travels, the list of names a testament to the range and diversity of the duo’s musical interests and talents: Cuban guitarist Leo Brouwer, legendary jazz guitarist Ralph Towner, Sting’s guitarist Dominic Miller, guitarist Gus Isidore (Seal, Peter Gabriel) and Australian neoclassical pianists Luke Howard and Nat Bartsch.
As the Grigoryans put it: ‘Crafted with love, respect, and a profound understanding, these compositions symbolise the reciprocal appreciation between the composers and the Grigoryan Brothers. Amistad, meaning ‘friendship’ in Spanish, is a celebration of camaraderie – a project resonating with respect and connection, a heartfelt tribute from the duo.’
