The Georgian Chamber Orchestra Ingolstadt was founded in Tbilisi (Georgia) in 1964. Its move to Ingolstadt (Germany) in early 1990 opened a new chapter in its story. Despite the move to a different cultural and geographical environment, it maintains its Eastern European identity, at the same time acting as an important cultural ambassador for the city of Ingolstadt. The artistic development of the ensemble has been strongly influenced by its long-serving leader, the violinist Liana Isakadze, as well as by conductors Yehudi Menuhin and Kurt Masur. The orchestra performs regularly at festivals throughout Europe and gives around 90 international concerts each year, above all in Spain, France, Georgia, Austria and Switzerland. For its Ljubljana concert at the home of the National Gallery, the orchestra will be conducted by the Armenian conductor Ruben Gazarian, who since 2015 has also been its artistic director.
