Georgian State Ensemble APHKHAZETI with live choir and orchestra APHKHAZETI is an unusual combination of Georgian dance, strongly rooted in this nation's tradition, with contemporary choreography and music. It is a band with almost 100 years of history, officially founded in 1931. The band constantly tours around the world, bringing viewers closer to everything beautiful in Georgian culture - tradition, folklore and incredible energy.
The war in Abkhazia and the subsequent Russian occupation of the entire region forced the artists to move to Tbilisi in 1992. Despite the difficulties, APHKHAZETI retained its character, skills and unique color! In March 2021 - with the arrival of the young and talented artistic director, the legendary Bachana Chanturia - an exciting stage in the band's history began. For many years he was one of the main soloists of the Georgian National Ballet Sukhishvili. He used his experience and talent to create new choreography for traditional dances. He invited well-known Georgian composers, together they prepared an original musical accompaniment and it is this program - Choreonicon - he will present in Turkey!
APHKHAZETI is traditional fragments of Georgian music in a completely new version, performed by a live orchestra. It also includes spectacular dances from various regions in the interpretation of the legendary Bachana Chanturia! The innovation was so groundbreaking that in the last two years the band performed in many regions of Georgia, also giving concerts outside its borders. Ethnicity, ballet and modernity - a delightful show never seen in Turkey!
Duration of the concert is 2 hours.
