About Kyrillos Guirguis
Kyrillos Guirguis is an Australian composer who has been passionate about music since early childhood. His music is influenced by both Middle Eastern music, including Coptic Christian, and Western classical music traditions. His compositions occasionally use the Arabic and Coptic maqams (scales/modes) that utilise quarter notes, giving his music a rich flavour. He enjoys orchestrating his own music, utilising principles developed by some of the great classical orchestrators such as Rimsky-Korsakov.
Kyrillos learnt and played the lute (oud) for several years. He uses the lute for most of the compositional process, with regular use of the keyboard to experiment sounds of different instruments and develop harmonic progressions and contrapuntal melodies. He is also learning the oboe, which is one of his favourite instruments, but finds reed making the most challenging and time-consuming aspect.
Kyrillos has only recently started to share his music with others, bringing to the world wonderful music that has deep spiritual meanings. The Valley Winds Ensemble, Massachusetts, considers him a composer with “strong compositional skills”, attesting to his abilities to write music that inspires others and appeals to both musicians and listeners alike.
Prof. Linda Kouvaras, a scholar at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, described his compositional style as "evocative, setting him apart in the Western contemporary classical idiom".
Kyrillos is currently completing his postgraduate music studies at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, with a focus on music composition.
