JOSEPH & JAMES TAWADROS
SLAVA & LEONARD GRIGORYAN

Slava & Leonard, Joseph and James – one super group, two sets of siblings, four internationally acclaimed musicians...which ever way you look at it, this brotherly collaboration displays sibling revelry at its best.

Slava & Leonard are regarded as two of Australia’s finest classical guitarists. Joseph Tawadros is a master of the oud, whilst James at the tender age of 18 has made a name for himself as a world-class percussionist specialising on the Req, an Egyptian tambourine.

Performances by Band of Brothers are marked by group artistry of the highest order with repertoire that crosses cultural and stylistic barriers….from world music, to jazz, classical and traditional.

Combining technical virtuosity and improvisation, audiences are taken on a musical journey defying categorisation.

‘(the Grigoryan brothers and Tawadros Brothers) joined forces in a display of improvised and organised genius’. Wes Taylor – ABC Brisbane
