About

Giya Kancheli is one of the few Georgian composers whose works are well known beyond the borders of his homeland. On her album “Poetry of Silence” the pianist Ketevan Sepashvili, also from Georgia, presents Kancheli's 33 Miniatures for Piano. The short pieces are all based on works for film or theatre, which were his main areas of activity over a long period of time, and represent a broad cross-section of Kancheli's creativity from almost four decades. Four of the miniatures can be heard with additional flute, and the Twelve Miniatures for Voice and Piano were also arranged by the pianist for the trio cast, which introduces an additional tone colour particularly well suited to the songs. Sepashvili is supported by her compatriots Temo Kharshiladze, flute, and Madina Karbeli, soprano.

As a soloist Ketevan Sepashvili has been and is a guest at well-known European piano festivals such as the Festival Klavierissimo in Switzerland, the Liszt Festival Raiding in Austria, the Rubinstein Piano Festival in Łódz, Poland, or the Festival Mozart@Augsburg in Germany. Her debut CD “Faust” featuring works by Rachmaninov and Liszt appeared in 2012, and was described by the Wiener Zeitung as “fascinating” and “a new discovery”. Her second CD recording “Fantasiebilder”, with works by Schumann and Rachmaninov, appeared in 2016.

Temo Kharshiladze In 2012 he came to Austria as an exchange student, where he studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna, completing his master’s degree (concert performer, transverse flute) in 2018. Numerous performances have brought him to the Konzerthaus Berlin and the Great Hall of the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and in 2018 to the Herkulessaal in Munich and the Dubai Opera.

Georgian soprano Madina Karbeli graduated from Tbilisi State Conservatory and Vienna University of Music and Performing Arts (2011). Since then she has been a regular guest on international opera and concert stages.
