Tiago Brissos-Melbourne A charismatic performer and entertainer Tiago is now trying to assert himself as a performer in the Australian Music scene, working with an engaging repertoire ranging from Bach to contemporary compositions and always trying to bring to the audience music with some kind of connection to popular roots making it easy for the listener to identify even with the most challenging works. During the time Tiago lived in Portugal he had the chance to study and attend master classes with the leading guitarists of his country and established himself as an aspiring young performer, touring through the country in solo performances as well as in numerous chamber music formations. Tiago has a diverse music repertoire ranging from baroque to contemporary compositions but I give special attention to pieces in which the composer has some kind of root in folk music, south American, Spanish or Easter European for example. It’s an eclectic and engaging repertoire where there is always an element to which the audience can relate. Apart from Tiago's standard concert repertoire he can also play a varied range of simpler pieces, from renascence to contemporary music, and is happy to prepare any pieces requested given enough time. listen to tiago
