The Thornton School's keyboard department presents a concert by pianist Giorgi Latsabidze.
Latsabidze has pursued an ambitious performance schedule, appearing in master classes and concert performances throughout Eastern Europe, Asia, South America and the United States. While at the Tbilisi State Conservatoire, and following an audition with noted Georgian conductor Jansug Kakhidze (nicknamed "the Slavic Karajan"), Latsabidze was resident soloist at the Tbilisi Center for Music and Culture from 2000 through 2003, performing an extensive series of works for both solo piano and piano with orchestra. During this period, he was recognized for giving an exceptional performance of the 24 Etudes of Chopin in Tbilisi to an enthusiastic audience. In 2005, Latsabidze gave solo concerts throughout Austria, following which Governor Franz Voves of Styria, Austria, invited him to perform a series of private salon concerts in the historic and famous Schloss Eggenberg, Graz. In additional subsequent appearances in Austria, Latsabidze performed Beethoven's Emperor Concerto with orchestras in Vienna, Salzburg and Lienz. In June 2008, he performed all 12 Transcendental Etudes of Liszt in Hawaii (Honolulu Convention Center); shortly thereafter he repeated the same program in Nice, France, with the latter performance broadcast live on one of the leading music channels in Europe.
This concert will be filmed by Onward Entertainment for an upcoming DVD.
