Zacharia Paliashvili was a Georgian\u00a0composer. Regarded as one of the founders of the\u00a0Georgian\u00a0classical music, his work is known for its eclectic fusion of\u00a0folk songs\u00a0and stories with 19th-century\u00a0Romantic\u00a0classical themes. He was the founder of the Georgian Philharmonic Society and later, the head of the\u00a0Tbilisi State Conservatoire. The\u00a0Georgian National Opera and Ballet Theater of Tbilisi\u00a0was named in his honor in 1937. Notably, Paliashvili’s music serves as the basis of the\u00a0National Anthem of Georgia.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator style=”shadow” border_width=”3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”815″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css_animation=”slideInLeft”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n

He began his musical career in the 1940s as the\u00a0cellist\u00a0in the\u00a0Georgian State String Quartet<\/i>. His first composition, based on Georgian folk songs and being a collection of miniatures for\u00a0string quartet, was an immediate success. He also wrote several\u00a0operas,\u00a0ballets,\u00a0symphonies\u00a0and\u00a0concertos, but it was his compositions for string quartet which came to take pride of place amongst his works and which made a notable contribution to Georgian music. Tsintsadze’s compositions are based on the traditional forms as well as styles and characteristics used by composers such as\u00a0Shostakovich\u00a0and\u00a0Shebalin. Georgian folklore is ever present in his music.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator style=”shadow” border_width=”3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”819″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css_animation=”slideInLeft”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n Nikoloz Gudiashvili the People’s Artist of the Republic of Georgia honorary title holder (1988).
