Giorgi Gigashvili & Nini Nutsubidze - Georgian on My Mind at the Appel Room, Jazz at Lincoln Center,

On April 23, 2027, Emolas Corporation presents Georgian on My Mind at the Appel Room, Jazz at Lincoln Center, featuring pianist Giorgi Gigashvili and singer Nini Nutsubidze.

Born in Tbilisi in 2000, Gigashvili is an internationally recognized pianist who, alongside his classical career, also works on vocal and experimental projects. A First Prize winner at the Vigo International Piano Competition under jury president Martha Argerich, he went on to win the Hortense Anda-Bührle Special Prize at the Géza Anda Competition, First Prize and the Audience Prize at KlavierOlymp Bad Kissingen, and Second Prize at the Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition. He currently studies with Kirill Gerstein in Berlin.

Formed with Nutsubidze, a singer, songwriter, and producer, in 2020, Georgian on My Mind brings Western classical music and Georgian folklore together, weaving Georgian folk song into direct conversation with works by composers such as Chopin, Bartók, Scarlatti, Beethoven, and Brahms. The program made its debut at the Beethovenfest Bonn as part of Gigashvili's 2024 fellowship there, and has since been performed at Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie, Vienna's Konzerthaus, and Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, among other major stages.

Located on the sixth floor of Jazz at Lincoln Center's Frederick P. Rose Hall at Columbus Circle, the Appel Room is built in the form of a Greek amphitheater and framed by a 50-by-83-foot wall of glass overlooking Central Park and the Manhattan skyline — one of New York's most striking settings for live performance.
