Classical music enthusiasts are invited to attend a special charity performance by celebrated Georgian pianist Elisso Bolkvadze next week in Kutaisi.
Bolkvadze will play for charity at Kutaisi's Lado Meskhishvili Professional State Drama Theatre within this year’s annual Kutaisoba – a day celebrating the capital city of Georgia's Imereti Region.
The famed pianist will perform a program of classical works by legendary composers Frederic Chopin (1810-1849), Claude Debussy (1862-1918) and Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953).
Bolkvadze was the first Georgian pianist awarded the UNESCO Artist for Peace Title. During her vast career she has won numerous prestigious international competitions and awards.
Last year she was awarded the Order of Arts and Literature - a top French state prize - by France’s Culture Minister Fleur Pellerin in Georgia's capital Tbilisi.
Bolkvadze is frequently invited by top venues across the world to perform solo concerts or other performances with well-known symphony orchestras.
To complement her musical career, the Georgian pianist was also philanthropic with her time and skills.
In 2013 she established the LYRA Foundation to help young Georgian pianists with their studies and international appearances. Bolkvadze has also founded the annual international festival Batumi Music Fest in Georgia's seaside city.
The famed pianist has been called "an amazing talent" by The New York Times and "a brilliant virtuoso and superb person" by the Journal Classica magazine.
