On May 6, the first solo concert of the Anzor Erkomaishvili Folklore State  Centre Choir  was held in the small hall of the Rustaveli National Theatre. The evening featured vocal pieces and chants  from various regions of Georgia. The event was held with the support of the Ministry of Culture of Georgia.

The target of founding  the mentioned choir  was to  promote Georgian musical folklore and continue  the traditions of performing folk music among the younger generation. It was founded in 2024 with the support of the Ministry of Culture. The members include students of the Schools of Choirmasters  as well as students and graduates of the G.Mtatsmindeli  University of Chant.  

The Folklore Centre Choir  is distinguished by its management model – it does not have a single leader. This decision was made by Giorgi Donadze, the director of the   Folklore  State  Centre. According to him, this tradition comes from renowned older ensembles and is the correct approach, since it is impossible for one person alone to fully embody and master the diverse regional styles of Georgian song. Alongside Giorgi Donadze, the ensemble’s choirmasters are Lika Liparteliani, Tornike Skhiereli, Giorgi Khunashvili, and Sergo Urushadze.
