The 9th International Festival “From Easter to Ascension”
20/04/2014
With the blessing of the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia, the festival was founded in 2006. The International Charitable Foundation of the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia and “Akaki Ramishvili Foundation – Tradition and Innovation” are the founders of the festival.
Tbilisi City Hall and “Telasi” JSC are the permanent partners of the annual festival. The festival aims to interest young people in traditional and classical art, to promote the creativity of residing abroad Georgian musicians and to present the works of famous foreign performers.
Right after the Easter, during the Renewal Week, the festival starts in Tbilisi and continues in different regions of Georgia until the Ascension Day.
In 2006-2010 years the artistic directors of the festival were such famous musicians as: Marina Iashvili, Liana Isakadze, Bidzina Kvernadze, Anzor Erkomaishvili, and also, the young pianist Valerian Shiukashvili and composer and conductor Nika Memanishvili.
Since 2011, the internationally recognized Georgian pianist Alexander Korsantia became a permanent Artistic Director of the festival and greatly enriched the festival’s programme.
In 2013, to commemorate the 80th jubilee and the 50th anniversary of consecration to the Episcopate of His Holiness, on the initiative of the festival has been prepared and published a collection of musical compositions by the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II.
