June / November 2027

Layers instead of boundaries: a musical flow between classical music, pop and Georgian tradition – as a living, shared experience.
Giorgi Gigashvili
The Georgian pianist Giorgi Gigashvili – a »rising star« of the ECHO for the 2025/26 season – first came to the piano through folk songs and pop music, and appeared on stage at an early age as »The Voice of Georgia«. Today, he moves effortlessly between instrument and voice, concert hall and urban club, classical virtuosity and Georgian folk tradition. Together with Ensemble Resonanz, he develops a program without fixed boundaries, but with a great deal of heart.
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.
Program (selection)
Bach, Beethoven, Shostakovich, Stevie Wonder, Chaplin, Rosalía, Kancheli, and Georgian traditional songs form a shifting constellation.
Medleys, solo moments, and ensemble textures alternate and merge in a continuously evolving structure.
