THE WIZ [LIVE] on stage

Everyone knows the story of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, but in this new musical version it’s a fantasy for today – mysterious, opulent and fanciful – a dream conjured up by a space-age child with Dorothy’s adventures in the Land of Oz set to music in a dazzling, lively mixture of country, rock, gospel and soul.  (Adapted into a film version featuring Michael Jackson and Diana Ross.)

“Radiates so much energy you can hardly sit in your seta … great fun.”

– The New York Post

“A continuous festival of movement … splendid character songs.”

– WWD

“A carnival of fun … wickedly amusing show.” – Time

“A virtual music circus … driving rhythms, soaring songs … boisterous, exuberant.”

– ABC TV

THE GRIGORYAN BROTHERS [LIVE] music on stage

continuing the tradition of bringing extremely talented guitarists to the stage in Charters Towers, The World Theatre is please to present:

THE GRIGORYAN BROTHERS
SONGS WITHOUT WORDS
LIVE music on stage
 SAT 7 APRIL 7.30PM


  Tickets $29.50 | Student $25 Conc | Child $20

‘Their ability to play as if drawing from a shared musical consciousness and their subtle nuances of tempo, bordered on the uncanny’.

 – The West Australian

Currently touring USA as KD Lang opener, the Grigoryan Brothers’ are being celebrated by an entire new audience. Taking a quick break to perform 2 shows (Townsville & Charters Towers) before moving south to play... https://www.grigoryanbrothers.com/tour-dates

Although regarded as Australia’s finest guitar duo performing much of the instrument’s standard classical repertoire, the Grigoryan Brothers’ passion is to expand their horizons through new arrangements, their own compositions and commissions. This ambition can be heard as the brothers take the guitar into genres such as jazz, folk and contemporary music. There are no boundaries, only new frontiers to cross. In concert, mix it all together and you have a dimension to guitar-playing rarely seen in the musical world.

 

“The Grigoryan Brothers have a reputation of performing together so emphatically, they become extensions of each other.”

 – Courier Mail

When not on stage they are in the studio, having released six duo albums, four of which have been nominated for ARIA awards (Australia’s prestigious music awards).

The brothers have also performed with symphony orchestras and at international festivals in Australia and Europe. Slava continues in his position as Artistic Director of the Adelaide International Guitar Festival, a position he has held since 2010.

‘…..Slava and Leonard belong in a special category of excellence’

 – The West Australian
