AUSTRALIA'S LEADING SUPPLIER OF CORPORATE & SPECIAL EVENT ENTERTAINMENT CLASSICAL ARTISTS
SLAVA GRIGORYAN (GUITAR) Slava Grigoryan was born in 1976 in Kazakhstan and immigrated with his family to Australia in 1981. As a major prizewinner at the Tokyo International Classical Guitar Competition, Slava was signed by Sony Music Entertainment Australia under the Sony Classical Label in 1995 and has since released four solo albums. Slava Grigoryan has performed at many national and international Festivals such as the Brighton International Festival, the Harrogate International Arts Festival, Dresden Misikfestpiel, the Newbury Festival in the UK, the Guitar Festival of Great Britain, the Darwin International Guitar Festival, the GFA Festival in La Jolla, California, the Wirral International Guitar Festival, the AL Bustan Festival in Beirut, the New Zealand Arts Festival and the Sydney Festival. He has appeared with many of the world’s leading orchestras, including the London Philharmonic, BBC Concert Orchestra, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the Northern Sinfonia, Israel Symphony Orchestra, Dresden Radio Orchestra and more recently the Klagenfurt Symphony Orchestra in Austria and the Halle Orchestra in Manchester, UK. In 1998 Slava was named Young Australian of the Year for the Arts and in September 2000 he appeared as soloist with the Australian Chamber Orchestra as part of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Arts Festival. In January 2001, he was soloist with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in their annual “Symphony in the Domain” concert before an audience in excess of 100,000. Later that year, he toured extensively for Musica Viva Australia with the Australian pianist, Simon Tedeschi and appeared for Andrew McKinnon Concert Presentations in recital at Angel Place. Other 2001 performances included appearances with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, The City of London Festival, the Australian String Quartet and a tour to Japan in September. In 2002, Slava appeared as soloist with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, the Australian Youth Orchestra and toured for Musica Viva with his brother, Leonard Grigoryan. Recently Slava Grigoryan was appointed Artist in Residence at the Victorian College of the Arts, and received the ‘Mo Award’ for Instrumentalist of the Year. His debut classical album for ABC Classics – Sonatas and Fantasies - was released in March 2002 and was awarded Best Classical Album at the 2002 ARIA Awards. 2003 saw the release of two new albums on the ABC Classics label – Play (with Leonard Grigoryan) and Saffire (The Australian Guitar Quartet), which went on to win the 2003 Best Classical Album ARIA. 2003 engagements included solo appearances with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and for the Queensland Biennial of Music, national tours with his brother Leonard and with Saffire, extensive appearances for Musica Viva and performances in Japan with baritone José Carbó. Slava also collaborated with many colleagues in Slava and Friends for Carnivale in Sydney. In 2004, Slava appeared as a soloist with the Melbourne and West Australian Symphony orchestras, Orchestra Victoria and toured extensively for Musica Viva. He also recorded and released a new CD with Saffire and performed extensively with the guitar quartet, including a concert at the Brisbane Festival and regional tours. His recent release Brazil (with flautist Jane Rutter) went straight to No. 1 on the ARIA classical charts – Slava, Leonard and Jane have performed music from the CD live in concert at venues including at the Art Gallery of NSW and continue to perform Brazil concerts together. 2005 saw Slava Grigoryan appear as a soloist with some of Australia’s leading orchestras, complete a Guest-Artist residency at Geelong Grammar in Victoria, where he performed concerts and workshops, undertake a tour to the United Arab Emirates and South Africa and record a new CD with his brother, Leonard Grigoryan, through ABC Classics, of the Rodrigo Concerto for two guitars with the Queensland Orchestra. In the latter half of 2005, he undertook major tours to Europe and the USA both as a solo artist and with Saffire – The Australian Guitar Quartet. In 2006, Slava toured New Zealand, the UK, Russia, Japan and South-East-Asia including a major recital with Leonard at Wigmore Hall, London. In 2007, brothers Slava and Leonard tour as a duo throughout Australia, Asia and the Baltic States as well as recording with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. Slava will also appear as a soloist with The Queensland Orchestra, the Song Company and with Leonard for the Hong Kong Sinfonietta and at the Queensland Music Festival.
“Wizard of the guitar, Slava Grigoryan bewitched and beguiled the audience… Grigoryan has complete mastery of all facets of the guitar…” (Adelaide Advertiser, May 2005) “Grigoryan is a fine and intriguing performer, steely in his concentration but able to explode out when the music demands it…” (The Age) “…a truly dazzling and brilliant performance – go and see him if you have the opportunity, he is one of the very best talents to have emerged in recent years”. (Classical Guitar Magazine)
