Giorgi Donadze donated an eight-volume of Georgian
polyphonic singing and Church choirs to Princeton University Library. The
director of the Folklore Center and the head of the ensemble
"Basiani" also donated audio versions of "You Are a
Vineyard" to the University Library. The oldest Georgian hymn was
published as a book specifically for the Frankfurt book fair in 2018. As for
the eight-volume chanting anthology, it contains Georgian hymns preserved in
manuscripts published in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Georgian State Ensemble "Basiani" is currently in
the USA, within the framework of their autumn tour. Hymns from the Anthology
and various versions of "You're a Vineyard" were performed at
Princeton University. Basiani members also held a master class and taught the
students several Georgian folk songs. As part of the tour, the
"Basiani" concert at the Lincoln Center was in full swing. Solo
concerts were also held in Berkeley (California) and Princeton.
