Sergei Malov to Perform ‘Cello & Spala’ on November 24

For the first time in Georgia, ‘Cello and Spala’ is to be performed on a Georgian stage, a performance which dates back three centuries. On November 24 at 19:30, Sergei Malov will hold a concert at Rustaveli Theater.

Cello and Spala is a series of German and Austrian Baroque music, namely the works of Heinrich Babier, Yohan Sebastian Bach and his son, Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach.

After graduating from Salzburg Mozartum and Hans Aisler High School in Berlin, Malov won several international competitions as a violinist (Hayeksee Competition 2008, Mozart Competition 2010, Michael Hill Contest 2011) and Alist (Tokyo, 2010). In September this year, he became a Professor of Music at the Zurich Music Academy, and released his latest album ‘Hommage á Ysaÿe’.

Nowadays, he performs concerts around the world. As a solo performer, he has collaborated with orchestras such as the London Philharmonic, BBC, Bavaria Radio, Helsinki Symphony and many others. Also of note is his cooperation with Baroque Ensemble ‘Berlin Academy of Old Music’ (AKAMUS Berlin).

Malov's repertoire is diverse, featuring many pieces, from Baroque to contemporary. The composer's creation and great improvization is always visible in his performance. Malov, in his multilevel recordings, also exquisitely combines numerous instruments.

A Sibelius concert will be performed at the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, and a Stravinsky concert, with the Tampere Symphony Orchestra, are planned this upcoming season.

Public lectures will also be held within the framework of ‘Tbilisi Baroque Festival’: On November 29, Gia Bugadze's lecture ‘Karavajjo and Karavajizism’ will be held and on December 5, Tea Mukeria will conclude with the public lecture ‘Voice from Venice – Vivaldi’. Attendance at lectures is free and are held at 18:00 at the Tbilisi Conservatoire Chamber Hall (3rd floor).
