LEN POWER.
THE Grigoryan Brothers’ “This Is Us: A Musical Reflection of Australia”, truly celebrated the Australian spirit. For the large audience in the cavernous entrance hall of the National Museum of Australia, the concert became an intimately shared and ultimately memorable experience.
Commissioned by the National Museum to compose a suite of music to celebrate its 20th anniversary, the Grigoryan Brothers, Leonard and Slava, focused on 18 objects that, to them, represented what it means to be Australian. They chose artefacts that represent our First Nations’ history as well as colonisation, migration and innovation, along with stories of love and loss.
