About Slava & Leonard Grigoryan
ABOUT SLAVA & LEONARD GRIGORYAN The Grigoryan brothers have been performing professionally as a duo for 8 years (they have been playing together since Leonard was 4 years old). This partnership has taken them around Australia many times. They have also performed in Russia, Austria, Estonia, Japan, Malaysia, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, and had their Wigmore Hall debut in London in 2006. They have released three duo CD’s with ABC Classics: • Play (2003) • Rodrigo Concertos (2006) • Impressions (2007) As a duo they have worked with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, The Academy of Melbourne and performed at the Melbourne International Festival of the Arts and The Brisbane Festival. Although having performed much of the standard repertoire for two guitars, their passion is to expand the classical guitar repertoire through new arrangements, commissions and collaborations with contemporary composers as well their own compositions. Coming from an eclectic musical background, improvisation has always been an important part of their musical language. This combination of influences sets their performances apart from other classical ensembles attracting a very diverse audience. ABOUT SLAVA GRIGORYAN Slava Grigoryan was born in 1976 in Kazakhstan and immigrated with his family to Australia in 1981. As a major prizewinner at the Tokyo International Classical Guitar Competition, Slava was signed by the Sony Classical Label in 1995 and has since released 6 solo albums and many collaborative recordings.

- i - - ii - UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND The Impact of Australian Classical Music Record Labels on the Australian Music Scene A Dissertation submitted by Nicola N Hayden For the award of Master of Music May 2009 - iii - Abstract The impact of Australian classical music record labels on the Australian music scene is investigated in terms of the awareness and development of Australian classical music amongst the musical community, the careers of Australian composers and performers, and the investigation into which particular label is thought to have played the most prominent role in this regard. A review of those labels currently in production in Australia was undertaken and includes the labels ABC Classics, Australian Eloquence, Jade, Melba Recordings, Move Records, Solitary Island Records, Sydney Symphony, Tall Poppies, Revolve, Vox Australis, and Walsingham Classics. The aims and goals of the various labels are ascertained along with the nature of the catalogues of each label. A comprehensive survey of each catalogue is undertaken with reference to the content of Australian compositions represented on each label. In this regard Tall Poppies label represents the most Australian composers. A survey of members of the Australian musical community was undertaken in relation to the research aims. Responses were elicited regarding the level of the respondents‘ awareness of the existence of these labels and to measure the impact the labels have had on the respondents‘ knowledge of Australian classical music. In both cases it was confirmed that Australian classical record labels have increased the respondents‘ awareness and appreciation of Australian music. Composers who have had their works recorded on an Australian record label and performers whose performances have been recorded on such labels were asked to indicate how this experience had helped them in the launching or furthering of their careers. -
