About event

On December 7th at 18:00, we invite you to the grand closing of the Paganini Festival in the atmospheric hall of the Silk Factory Studio in Tbilisi! The Mystery Ensemble will virtuosically perform the masterpieces of composers whose lives and work were related to the great virtuoso violinist: Schubert, Debussy, Ravel, Grieg.

Genius and mystic, virtuoso and reformer — the great Paganini was surrounded by a trail of fame and rumors during his lifetime. He was idolized and cursed, called «divine» and «diabolical.» A born artist, he willingly participated in the creation of a scandalous and mysterious aura of his image. Crowds of fans hunted him down, trying to find out the «secret of Paganini». The musician saw the formula for his phenomenal success quite prosaically: «The beginning of a career is a gift from the gods, the rest is hard work.» We will never hear how this «favorite of the gods» played, but we can turn to his beautiful music.

The Paganini Festival is three unforgettable chamber concerts that will allow you to look at the work of the great master in a new way. The name Paganini has become a symbol and synonym of the violin art, and you can see for yourself.

Do not miss this event, which will give you an unforgettable experience and allow you to plunge into the fascinating world of music!

A brilliant musician or a great mystifier? Who was Niccolo Paganini, whose birthday is celebrated on October 27th? As an outstanding violinist and composer, he was recognized by his contemporaries. Today, «effective personal branding» would certainly be added to the list of his achievements. The witnesses remembered that after the concert in Vienna, the imitation of the maestro was total and went far beyond the sphere of music. Gloves «in the style of Paganini», a hairstyle «in the style of Paganini» and even a «Paganini-hit» in billiards have become fashionable!

Paganini's effect on other musicians was equally hypnotic. He was admired, imitated, and his writings became the basis of transcriptions by many authors.

The number of tickets is strictly limited. Hurry up while they are still available!
