Georgia: The Cradle of Wine and Polyphony

Please join the Harriman Institute for an evening of Georgian culture with Dr. Gia Bagashvili.

In the forthcoming lecture titled “Georgia: The Cradle of Wine and Polyphony,” Dr. Gia Bagashvili presents an in-depth exploration of Georgian culture. Drawing connections between the nation’s revered tradition of polyphony and its ancient vinicultural practices, the presentation will feature rare audio-visual materials sourced from the national archives, offering insight into Georgia’s rich cultural heritage. Following the presentation, the ensemble “Zekari” under the cultural center “Dancing Crane” will join Dr. Bagashvili for a few performances.
