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

REVIEWS

"Reception should definitely sit on your latest list of cabaret shows to see, especially if you want to be completely entertained by interesting stories, clever writing, great songs and lots of laughs – and who wouldn’t?" (Theatre Press)

A flawless duet of music and acting. Comedic, energetic, highly entertaining. ... Both script and music are compatible and the comedy is constant and appealing. I would highly recommend this delightful, entertaining musical.
- Stage Whispers

Witty and winning cabaret... brilliant... hilarious... striking and familiar.
- Theatre Press

"I encourage a work group trip to honour all the receptionists out there, and what it means to have 20 things going on at once on a given day. Reception is an entertaining honest production pulled off tirelessly and elegantly without any pretensions. It generates the right amount of laughs and applause, and Bethany Simon is a talent to watch."  - Daily Review

"Captivating. Everyone who works in an office should see this show."  - Weekly Review
