They are back, more fabulous than ever! The three Armenian brothers Pavel, Nicolas and Suren, well known to the audiences of half of Europe and beyond, are ready to give you a brand new concert-show that promises to be funnier than their "Tomato Drum" debut. For those who don't know them yet, we can say that their peculiarity is the creation of musical instruments out of everyday objects, recycled materials and more: with this paraphernalia they have invented many instruments which may seem weird to look at, but are absolutely original and in perfect working order.

We can admire and listen to the Broomophone, a double bass made of a basin and a broom held together by rope; the WC-drum, a toilet with the seat that goes up and down like a Hi-hat; the Valet-harp, a coat hanger turned into an Harp; the Bucketar, a bucket-guitar one can play on one's head, and more: the Funneltrumpet, the Sprinklesax, the Erotic Pipe, the Tubarimba and other oddities that give rise to an immediate comic effect!

The three brothers will play Traditional music, Blues, Jazz and Classical music, they will make fun of Celtic music as well as Rock'n'Roll in a show that mixes humour and virtuosity, theatre and music, irony and invention with these three unmistakeable characters that stand for the surreal side of music.

Jawshgawronsky Brothers and friends Xmas Show

Here’s the Xmas Show as conceived and realized by the Jashgawronsky Brothers under the direction of Diego Carli. On this occasion the three Armenian brothers propose an actual and unique Variety Show which consists of original numbers performed by the trio, accompanied by live music performed by the Xmas Show Orchestra which features Thomas Sinigaglia on accordion and Les Quartettes (Maria Vicentini on violin, Lorella Baldin on violin and bass tuba, Grazia Colombini on viola, Paola Zannoni on cello), and by the crazy acts of Minimoteatro (Cinzia Bonomo, Nicola Cracco, Nicola Ludovici). The brothers will be the three hosts of a show in which many international guests will alternate on stage and duet with them. It is perhaps the only Variety Show performed in Italy nowadays following its rebirth in Europe and it’s becoming more and more successful in the most important venues. A container show that combines comedy, creativity and technique, and is revisited with an up-to-date mood which allows us to define it “The New Variety Show”. The guests from the last two editions were: from Italy Monica Ugolini, Stefano Rota, Cesare Bonanno, Ratataplan Circus, Milo Scotton and Olivia Ferraris; and from Japan The Gamarjobat. A different way to wish everybody a Merry Christmas, and, to say it in the Armenian way: “Shenoraavor Nor Dari yev Pari Gaghand!”

L'Unità September 2002

"The Jashgawronsky Bros. have transported us into the right dimension to let us play with their theatre and their paraphernalia, they have given us their clownery and we have laughed and clapped our hands..."

HAZ Nordhannoversche Zeitung November 2002

"They gave to the public a thrilling show, offering musical virtuosity on home-made instruments with side-splitting comic effect."

Allgemeine Zeitung Mainz 3.9.02

"They play everything, quite everything, even one crisp bag, simply fantastic!"

Neue Presse 14.10.02

"It's really funny to hear the three armenian brothers playing Verdi with plastic bottles and hard rock with toy guitars."

Freitags Echo 13.6.03

"The three eccentric armenian musicians create a magical atmosphere with a repertoire which ranges from classical music to theatre parody."

Badische Zeitung  05.12.03
