k.d. is thrilled to have Australia's Grigoryan Brothers join the Ingénue Redux US tour after touring throughout Australia with her in July 2017.  Slava and Leonard Grigoryan are counted amongst the finest musicians of their generation having developed a reputation for enthralling audiences across the globe with the energy of their performances and the breadth of their repertoire – embracing genres such as classical, jazz and contemporary music from around the world. Between them, they have received 3 ARIA Awards (Australian Recording Industry Association) and an incredible 24 ARIA Award nominations.  

“Their ability to play as if drawing from a shared musical consciousness and their subtle nuances of tempo, bordered on the uncanny," - The West Australian

“Every ounce of subtlety of articulation, rubato and phrasing kept the listeners spellbound and their sheer virtuosity was verging on unbelievable." - Tarankai Arts Festival New Zealand

As part of this tour lang will perform songs from Ingénue – including the GRAMMY® -award winning hit “Constant Craving” – along with hits from her 2004 album  Hymns  of the  49th  Parallel.  The tour’s summer 2017 Canadian & Australian run had critics talking:

“lang’s performance proved that, even after a quarter of a century, [Ingénue] is still an album to fully immerse yourself in… But it was the startling power of that impeccably controlled mezzo-soprano voice, which can veer from melodramatic and anguished to nuanced and jazzy in a beat, that stole the show.” – Calgary Herald

“Lang's unwaveringly even voice is more dynamic live than in her pitch-perfect recordings… The singer interspersed feats of vocal prowess with moments of humour and playfulness.” – Sydney Morning Herald

“The majesty of lang’s instrument can’t be captured on record. For full appreciation, you simply must experience lang live.” – The Music AU

“This once-jumpy Prairie girl is now and forever on exactly the same level as the nation’s greatest performers, armed with a voice one can recognize from space. All this to say the sold-out show… was basically perfect.” –Edmonton Journal

“If you have never seen k.d. lang, you need to see this show. If you have previously seen k.d. lang you must see this show.” – Noise 11

This tour follows the release of a re-packaged, re-mastered Anniversary edition of “Ingenue,” released by Nonesuch earlier this year.  The two-disc set includes eight previously unreleased live performances from lang’s 1993 MTV Unplugged episode, recorded in New York City’s famed Ed Sullivan Theater. Watch her performance of “Constant Craving” HERE.

We hope to see you there!
