SLAVA GRIGORYAN
Classical guitar virtuoso Slava Grigoryan released a solo album ‘Gratitudes’ on Friday 19 May, 2023. The cover features one of the tracks, which has its own story, which he tells in the interview.
This album, commissioned by The Hush Foundation, a charity that transforms healthcare environments through the healing power of music.
Slava began writing the album during the pandemic to express his thanks for the ‘dedication and spirit’ of healthcare workers who cared for us during this stressful time.
