This web resource devoted to Georgian music initially was created by Mrs. Maya Urushadze (1999) and then the Fund Lana took care on the website design and on the adding of new music pieces to the website.

We have purchased new hosting (March, 2006) so currently we are able to provide you with more streaming music. We are re-arranging the structure and the content of the web-site. We are aware that some of you who uses OPERA and MOZILLA: FIREFOX browsers cannot listen to streaming music in the format which is provided by this web-site. We are working to solve this problem and I hope all our users will able to listen nice Georgian melodies.

We added some explanations in certain cases and continuously working on widening of repertoire of music presented on this web-site. We started with RealAudio format but then discovered that the Windows Media Audio format provides much better quality when using audio files of the equal size. But we are flexible in this context. Please advise us which formats are better and we will take your advice into consideration.

Some of our visitors ask us if purchase of CDs that contain music from this web-site is possible. Yes, it's possible. Buy CD. It's also possible to purchase live concerts on DVDs.
The same applies to the sheet music. We have reach collection of Georgian sheet music is available for purchase . You will be able to download it in pdf. You can find some samples on the web-site.

What are our plans? We plan to add more streaming music on the web-site and more stories on Georgian music and it's authors. We plan to enreach the e-shop that will offer more music CDs, sheet music, DVD, crafts, art-works etc.
