Originally, the Festival has been founded in Georgia where its founder Tamar Gogoberidze and her team have named it “Pearl of Batumi”. From the very beginning the Festival has been dedicated to give opportunity to young performers to gain their international visibility.
The success in Batumi, Georgia laid foundation for the Festival to cross the ocean thanks to support of Americans.
“We hope, the Festival will be held in different places in future. It can come again to Georgia,- bigger and with wider representation”, - says the organizer of the Festival, Tamar Gogoberidze. |
