Giorgi Gigashvili – »Moon over Georgia«

Giorgi Gigashvili, Klavier & Gesang
Natalia Kutateladze, Mezzosopran
Ensemble Resonanz

A program that doesn’t present music as fixed repertoire, but 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.

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 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.
