Lisa Batiashvili has lived in Germany since 1991 - but she has never forgotten her Georgian roots. When she was ten years old, she experienced first-hand how her homeland fought for independence following the collapse of the Soviet Union. In 2008, she watched spellbound as Putin sent in tanks and incorporated several regions of Georgia into Russia. It was the moment of her politicization and also a reason why she has shown such unreserved solidarity with the country after the invasion of Ukraine. Through her Lisa Batiashvili Foundation, founded in 2021, she is making her contribution to Georgia’s musical future: “There are young artists there who have touched me so much that I want to support them on their path.” She will introduce two of her grant holders at this concert: 23-year-old Giorgi Gigashvili, who has already won several prizes at international piano competitions, and Tsotne Zedginidze, who was born in 2009. “He is a talent of the century,” Batiashvili says enthusiastically. “This young artist has an exuberant imagination and a way of composing that goes straight to the heart.” She will perform with both at this concert.
