TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

An audition was arranged, where Mr. Matchawariani conducted the “Freischütz” – Ouverture with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. From what I could assertain in the very short time given Mr. Matchawariani, he seems to have a conducting gift and he showed solid musicianship. He is certainly worthy of any support and help in his affort to develop his career.

Dear Vakhtang,
Your orchestra played the difficult Mahler 7th Symphony magnificently with a love, passion and commitment one rarely sees. Surely this is a reflection and tribute to your leadership and to the depth of your musical influence as maestro. You have managed to mold a special music making tradition in Georgia.
