Giorgi Gigashvili – »Moon over Georgia«

Giorgi Gigashvili, piano & voice
Natalia Kutateladze, mezzo-soprano
Ensemble Resonanz

Layers instead of boundaries: a musical flow between classical music, pop and Georgian tradition – as a living, shared experience.

Concept

Giorgi Gigashvili condenses his musical biography into a layered, vertical landscape. With voice and piano, he brings together classical forms, Georgian songs, pop, minimalism, and experiment — not as contrasts, but as coexisting elements of a single expressive language.

Together with Ensemble Resonanz, this creates a space shaped by a shared attitude: a strong sense of artistic freedom rooted in a deep connection to tradition. The two are inseparable — they challenge, influence, and transform each other.

Joined by mezzo-soprano Natalia Kutateladze, this creates an evening shaped by a sense of closeness – rooted in shared origins, memory and musical languages. 

What happens in this program?

The program does not follow a chronological order, but an inner logic of resonance, origin, and encounter. Different musical worlds come into direct contact: Bach meets medleys, Stevie Wonder meets Kancheli, Shostakovich meets Chaplin, Georgian songs meet jazz and pop arrangements.

The form is fluid: short pieces, transitions, fragments, and reappearances. Music is not presented as fixed works, but as material that moves, transforms, and reconnects.

With mezzo-soprano Natalia Kutateladze, another voice from Georgia joins the stage — closely connected to Giorgi Gigashvili and deeply rooted in the musical traditions of their shared cultural background.

The result is a musical stream of consciousness: a pull between light and shadow, memory and presence — drawing everything into the now.
