Consonance - Instrumental Conversations with Guitar

Exchange and confluence between world-leading musicians, each of whom calls Adelaide home. Hailed for his fluidity and finesse, Aleksandr Tsiboulski began his career in Adelaide and premieres a new suite for classical guitar by South Australian composer Anne Cawrse, based upon plainchant by 12th Century composer and philosopher Hildegard of Bingen. He is joined by violinist Dr Elizabeth Layton, Head of Classical Performance at the Elder Conservatorium of Music, for an intricate conversation between instruments. Artistic Director Slava Grigoryan is joined by his key collaborator in life and music, cellist Sharon Grigoryan. Their synergy and enchanting capacity to connect shines through their repertoire spanning cultures, generations and genres. Opening the concert is the 2025 Adelaide Guitar Festival Orchestra, led by the effervescent Dr Paul Svoboda, bringing their extraordinary energy and ensemble to a truly special festival event.
