A captivating story lies behind this exhibition:
In the autumn of 2017, renowned Norwegian pianist and composer Misha Alperin shared a recording of his latest piano piece, "Tiflis", with friends. One of those friends was Giorgi Davitashvili, the festival director at Noumen ART.
Upon hearing the piece, Giorgi recognized its beauty and expressed his intention to create a film about Tbilisi, using "Tiflis" as its musical backdrop. This sparked the idea to organize a tribute evening for Misha Alperin, where the music would blend with Dmitry Zverev's visual representation of Tbilisi.
Recently, Giorgi was inspired by Dmitry Zverev's impressive photographic work, which chronicles modern Tbilisi over two years, totaling more than 1,500 photos. Consequently, the concept for the tribute evening evolved, pairing Alperin's composition with Zverev's pictorial narrative of the city.
