The website is created for education and entertainment purposes and is devoted to Georgian music. Initially, it was designed by Mrs. Maya Urushadze (1999) and then the Fund Lana re-designed it and added new music pieces to it. Currently, it belongs to Dr. Teimuraz Kancheli and is a non-commercial, free-for-use resource.
We are re-arranging the structure and the content of the website. New versions of browsers OPERA MOZILLA - FIREFOX, Google Chrome is good for this website and we have deleted pages intended for old version browsers. We added some explanations in certain cases and continuously worked on the widening of the repertoire of music presented on this website.
Some of our visitors ask us if the purchase of CDs that contain music from this website is possible. Yes, it's possible. Buy CD. It's also possible to purchase classical music CDs and live concerts on DVDs.
The same applies to sheet music. We have reached a collection of Georgian sheet music available for purchase and order. You will be able to download it in PDF. You can find some samples on the website.
What are our plans? We plan to add more streaming music on the website and more stories on Georgian music and its authors. We plan to enrich the e-shop that will offer more music CDs, sheet music, DVDs, crafts, artwork, etc.
