Episode 2: Georgia and Armenia
Conductor Kirill Karabits explores the musical heart of eastern Europe and central Asia. In this episode, he focuses on the musical traditions of Georgia and Armenia.
For many years the Ukrainian-born chief conductor of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Kirill Karabits, has championed the musical heritage of his homeland, introducing it on stage to his concert audiences so that 鈥...music lovers in Dorset may now be the most knowledgeable in the western world about the symphonic pieces of eastern Europe and central Asia鈥.
In this series, Kirill takes us on a journey which starts in Ukraine and heads eastwards, exploring traditions, influences and connections to reveal the musical heart of this region. This second episode reflects on Shostakovich鈥檚 connections in Georgia and Armenia, including a Soviet Armenian composer he admired, Aram Khachaturian; the Georgian composer Giya Kancheli, who died in his home city of Tbilisi in 2019, Georgian choral chants; and recordings from the Orthodox church tradition.
