Bringing a heritage in Georgian music, on March 14, David Machavariani will perform a cello recital with Ketevan Badridze on piano accompaniment at 7 p.m. in Rieth Recital Hall on the Goshen College campus. Machavariani, originally from the Republic of Georgia, is an assistant principal in the South Bend Symphony Orchestra and Columbia Missouri Festival Chamber Orchestra. Badridze, also from the Republic of Georgia, is the soloist of the Tbilisi (Georgia) Symphony Orchestra. Listeners will enjoy a concert of classical music, with sonatas by Valentini, Bach and Prokofiev. Machavariani was surrounded by music from early childhood, guided by his parents -- both eminent Georgian musicians. His official musical training started at the age of eight in a special music school for gifted children in the Georgian capital. Machavariani debuted at the age of 14 with the Georgian National Symphony. He was part of the cello faculty in Surami, Georgia, from 1985 to 1988, and then taught at the Tbilisi State Conservatoire from 1990 to 1992. By invitation of Indiana University at South Bend in 1992, Machavariani came to the United States and earned a master's degree and artist diploma. He was principal cello in Elkhart Symphony Orchestra and Pro Musica Chamber Orchestra in St. Joseph, Mich. In 2001, Machavariani became an adjunct faculty at Goshen College, and also at Indiana University at South Bend in 2002. Badridze began to study piano at the Georgian Special Music School at the age of six. She continued her studies at the Tbilisi State Conservatoire, studying under the direction of T. Matureli and Nodar Gabunia, and upon completion of her master's degree was appointed to the piano faculty. In the spring of 2000, she joined the Toradze Piano Studio at Indiana University of South Bend. Badridze won second prize at the Newport International Piano Competition in England in 1991 and at the Georgian Republic Competition in 1995. She frequently performs solo and chamber music in Georgia, France, Belgium, Austria, Italy and Germany. General Admission is $5, students and seniors $3, GC students free
