Welcome Speech from Artistic Director

Artistic Director, Elisso Bolkvadze

Dear friends and music lovers,

Dedicated to classical music the sixth edition of Batumi MusicFest is taking place from 2nd to 12th of September 2018 in Batumi, Georgia.

The festival is held under the high patronage of UNESCO.

Annually, the Batumi MusicFest welcomes internationally renowned artists and young aspiring musical talents.

Audience and performers celebrate the magnificent power of music which reunites the representatives of different cultures at the magical city Batumi - the pearl of the Black Sea coast.

As a UNESCO Artist for Peace I believe that music has strong ability to direct people towards high values and serve as an important bridge for building peace around the world.

An amazing Concert Hall of Batumi Music Center is here to create a unique ambiance. From day one the Festival is supported by the Ministry of Culture and Education, as well as the Ministry of Culture of Autonomous Republic of Adjara.
The Batumi MusicFest promises unforgettable experience and unexpected discoveries…
