The ARIA Award winning Joseph Tawadros Trio isn’t afraid to new try new things. Challenging traditional musical forms and pushing boundaries, they bring an exciting performing dynamic to the stage.
The Tawadros brothers are from a musical family and were brought up in environment which encouraged music and individuality. They are recognised worldwide and have performed in some of the world’s most prestigious venues with celebrated artists such as Zakir Hussain, John Abercrombie, John Patitucci, Jack DeJohnette, Richard Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Sultan Khan and Camerata Salzburg to name a few. They have been ARIA nominated a record 9 times, winning for their album Concerto of The Greater Sea. They have also won 5 Limelight awards for Best World Music album consecutively. Rounding out the Trio is Steve Hunter, one Australia’s finest Jazz/Funk Bassists. Together they perform the original music of Tawadros. Tawadros’ Middle Eastern flavoured compositions constantly push the boundaries of melody and metre and are a rare combination of highly emotional music intertwined with boundless energy. True musicianship of the highest degree.
“[Joseph Tawadros is] one of the most impressive musicians to emerge in Australia…with a dazzling technique dispensing hair-raising tempos… His writing displays a real depth of emotion…revelling in a zest for life and celebration” The Australian
“If genius is partly exceeding all likelihood of a given potential, then James Tawadros was flirting with genius as he played the req, a small tambourine. He extracted an array of sounds, textures and rhythms to shame most kit-drummers.” Sydney Morning Herald
