Adelaide Guitar Festival has launched the program for its first annual event this July, with artistic director Slava Grigoryan saying it shines a light on the guitar’s ability to star in any genre – ‘from classical and jazz to rock, blues & roots and flamenco’.
The world premiere of Nigel Westlake’s evocative concerto inspired by his visit to Tasmania’s Tarkine wilderness was the centrepiece of this varied and rewarding performance featuring Slava and Leonard Grigoryan and the ASO.
The handsomely refurbished Her Majesty’s Theatre was a fine place for Legato, an evening of music on strings, guitar and piano performed by some of those instruments’ best exponents.
Ahead of her final concerts with the Australian String Quartet, cellist Sharon Grigoryan reveals what’s next and how she feels about farewelling the quartet and the precious 1743 Guadagnini cello she’s played for the past seven years.
