A Boy Called Sailboat
Presented by Tamworth Regional Conservatorium of Music
Acclaimed guitarists Slava & Leonard Grigoryan have expanded their creative output by crafting and recording the soundtrack to the award-winning movie A Boy Called Sailboat.
This heart-warming movie was written and developed by Melbourne-based team
Cameron Nugent and Andrew Curry and was filmed in New Mexico.
Sailboat brigs love and hope to a family who have forged a simple but proud life in the drought-ridden Deep South and one afternoon he brings home a "little guitar".
Sailboat and his little guitar are instantly inseparable. At the request of his ill grandmother to write a song for her - Sailboat meanders through diversity to deliver the unimaginable - the greatest song ever written.
The Latin-themed soundtrack is a key element to the movie and provides an opportunity to hear the wonderful Grigoryan Brothers like never before.
Film screening with the soundtrack performed live by the Grigoryan Brothers.
Only at the Capitol Theatre for one night - Tuesday, 28 May at 7:30pm
