Bach and Johann Strauss to Michel Legrand and Astor Piazzolla, bringing together diverse genres, including classical, jazz, gypsy, tango, and film music.Ms. Batiashvili is joined in this project by composer-arranger Nikoloz Rachveli, Katie Melua, Till Brönner, Miloš Karadaglić and Maximilian Hornung.
