Monash University Performing Arts Centres presents Sharon and Slava Grigoryan as part of the Sundays in the Sound Gallery series for 2025.

The success of any collaboration is dependent on a myriad of factors, some obvious, others less tangible. Sharon and Slava Grigoryan are an example of such a synergy, resulting in music that connects deeply with the listener. Perhaps it is their union professionally and in life that provides the intangible factor fuelling their passionate and sensitive performances.

Regarded as a wizard of the guitar, Slava Grigoryan has forged a prolific reputation as a classical guitar virtuoso. The winner of 4 ARIA awards, his international touring schedule has seen him perform throughout Europe, Asia, and the USA, as well as more exotic performances in Brazil, South Africa, India and the Middle East.

Sharon Grigoryan has forged a formidable career throughout Australia performing with all major symphony orchestras and chamber ensembles, including her seven year tenure with the Australian String Quartet. In 2023 Sharon was appointed as Associate Principal Cello with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra.

Their repertoire spans cultures, generations and genres – from standard works for guitar and cello (Vivaldi, Granados, Piazzolla) to creations by contemporary composers, their own compositions and arrangements which shine a new light on familiar favourites.

Sharon and Slava Grigoryan’s debut album Our Place (ABC) was nominated for Best Classical Album at the 2020 ARIA Awards.
