As part of the 2021 Adelaide Guitar Festival, the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra will present a collaboration between Nigel Westlake and the Grigoryan Brothers – featuring the debut performance of the composer’s concerto for two guitars, titled Toward Takayna, which he wrote for the duo.

Slava Grigoryan, being the artistic director of the Adelaide Guitar Festival, is well known for his virtuosic skill in classical guitar, as is his brother, Leonard; and audiences will be familiar with Nigel’s work in film, which includes scores for Babe, Miss Potter and Paper Plane.

The coming together of these musical minds is happening on Anzac Day eve, and will also feature some of Nigel’s other works, The Glass Soldier, and the Antarctica suite, the latter of which will feature Slava as soloist.
