IWA Georgia 1st Choir Festival

What’s an essential part of any birthday? That’s right, a birthday song! But one wasn’t enough for us, which is why we organised a choir festival to mark our 30th birthday. And it was absolutely wonderful!
We were enchanted by the masterfully performed songs of the amateur choir ‘Gizo Zhordania Caucasian Art Circle’ from Tbilisi, the youth choir ‘Tutarchela’ from Rustavi and the IWA Georgia Choir.
Special guests included the singers Ia Trapaidze and Giorgi Gergauli, who supported the amateur choir with their solos. We were delighted to welcome Natia Todua as our guest of honour at the festival; she won the “Voice of Germany” competition in 2017 and now lives and works as a professional singer in Germany.
The approximately 80 guests in attendance expressed their gratitude with thunderous applause for the magnificent performances produced by the two choir directors, Nana Kalandadze and Tamar Buadze.
It was they who founded the IWA Georgia Choir 16 years ago – at the Goethe-Institut Tbilisi, where this unforgettable choir festival also took place.
