Band of Brothers

Fri 18 Jun 2010

Guitar virtuosi, Slava and Leonard Grigoryan return again to The Noosa Longweekend after wild acclaim at last year’s festival. The duo is joined by the extraordinarily talented Joseph and James Tawadros for an adventurous musical partnership that crosses musical boundaries. The exotic sounds of the oud and req’ add an intriguing dimension to this eclectic program. Each a distinguished artist in his own right, this collaboration showcases an inspiring synergy of Australian talent.

The Brothers’ repertoire embodies a mixture of their original duo pieces, a special arrangement of Blackbird by the Beatles and some group pieces composed by Joseph Tawadros - Lucca, Ten Ten, Freo and Sahara. All works are interspersed with thrilling forays into spontaneous, brilliant improvisation.

In 2007, Band of Brothers performed at the Queensland Music Festival, and in 2008 were invited to perform at the Sydney Opera House and as part of the Adelaide International Guitar Festival. The same year, the group toured the east coast of Australia. In 2009, Band of Brothers performed at Arts in the Valley, Kangaroo Valley. This year, The Noosa Longweekend Festival is proud to present Band of Brothers as one of its keyline acts in Caloundra and Noosa.
