Hailed by Lansing City Pulse for “making time stand still with a low, warm flame of flickering melody,” he has captivated audiences worldwide. Sidamonidze has performed across Georgia, Austria, Germany, the UK, Russia, Armenia, and the U.S., appearing in major festivals and venues like Carnegie Hall and the Newport Music Festival. He has shared the stage with renowned artists such as Natalia Gutman and Giya Kancheli and recorded Arvo Pärt’s works for Gramola. Sidamonidze is a founding member of the Vienna-based Trio Revolution, a dynamic ensemble known for its innovative programming and captivating performances.

  • "The musicians were excellent -- in their playing as well as in communicating with the audience."

    - Barbara W., past guest at An evening with Rachmaninoff

  • "The musicians were not only skilled but also expressed a joy in their music making. Seeing their own experience with the music making made my own experience much richer."

    - Helen S., past guest at CELLOMANIA: A Cello Duo Concert

Music

I usually perform a wide range of music, from classical staples to contemporary works, but I’m particularly drawn to pieces that allow for deep expression and cultural connection. While much of my repertoire is rooted in Western classical traditions, I also explore music from around the world—Central Asian melodies, Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and Georgian miniatures.
