Music by Giya Kancheli

*

The genius Georgian master Giya Kancheli has strongly influenced both the Xylem Trio musicians and the rising Georgian jazz star Liza Kereselidze. She has listened to the great composer’s melodies already since childhood, and was directed towards musical education by Giya Kancheli himself.

Liza was suggested for cooperation with the Latvian trio by Kancheli’s son, and now we are eager to find out how this cooperation, which is based on the trio’s excellent understanding of Kancheli’s work, will turn out. Giya Kancheli was of high opinion of the album once released by Xylem Trio, and he stated in an e-mail that until then no one had ever played his music like they did.

The programme will include Kancheli’s melodies composed for theatre performances and films. The most well-known songs include a piece from the film “Mimino” and the play “Khanuma”, which used to be very popular in the Soviet Union.

We are going to witness a touching, thrilling, delicate, and exciting meeting with beautiful melodies and great musicians who master the balance between classic, jazz, and world music.

Supported by: Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Latvia, State Cultural Capital Fund and the city of Liepaja.
