Nikoloz Rachveli. Our story

The evening's program unites the philosophical depth of Viennese Classicism, the drama of contemporary documentary music, and the grandeur of Italian symphonism. The concert is conducted by the prominent Georgian composer Nikoloz Rachveli.

The concert opens with Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 27 — his final work in this genre, characterized by "autumnal" transparency and profound lyrical serenity.

The centerpiece of the evening is the Ukrainian premiere of Maestro Rachveli’s own work — the documentary music "Our Story" for symphony orchestra and phonogram. This sonic memorial weaves authentic audio recordings of historical figures and poets into a dramatic orchestral narrative, exploring Georgia’s national identity and its struggle for independence.

The program concludes with movements from Ottorino Respighi’s "Pines of Rome", leading the listener from the mystical silence of Janiculum Hill to the triumphant dawn and the majestic march of Roman legions along the Appian Way.
