Description
Georgia in the cultural focus – our Campus Project 2026 invites this country’s young generation for a dynamic cooperation with young German musicians, setting an example for dialogue and openness. Members of the major youth orchestras of both nations connect Beethoven with a cross-section of Georgian musical modernism. The Campus commissioned work is being written by seventeen-year-old Tsotne Zedginidze – according to Lisa Batiashvili, a »once-in-a-generation talent«.
