Sergei Rachmaninoff by Candlelight

Rachmaninoff’s music takes center stage in the candlelit Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tbilisi, where violinist Konstantine Gotsiridze, cellist Giorgi Nadareishvili, and pianist David Ketsbaia bring his works alive. The program pairs Rachmaninoff’s compositions with Shostakovich and Mussorgsky, offering a rich exploration of Russian Romanticism. The church’s intimate acoustics and soft candlelight create a setting that invites quiet reflection and close listening. It’s an experience suited for anyone who appreciates classical music presented with warmth and subtlety. The blend of strings and piano adds depth, highlighting the emotional range of each composer’s work. As the music unfolds, the space enhances every note, making the performance feel personal and immediate. This event attracts listeners who enjoy thoughtful, immersive concerts rather than grand spectacles. Whether alone or with friends, the setting encourages shared appreciation of the nuances of these timeless pieces.
