Just before the world debut of her latest work "Repetitions" (at the Buchman Mehta Music School in Tel Aviv, March 8, 2012) Hana Ajiashvili speaks about her music, her life, her Aliya (coming to Israel) from Tbilisi via Moscow and running a school. Coincidentally, this interview takes place exactly 11 years after Hanna's Aliya, since she has arrived in Purim 2002. As for "Repetitions" - embrace yourselves for a delightful surprise: it's written for 3 trumpets and a piano - but where is the latter? And what role does it have in the piece? As for what makes her music Israeli - well, you'll have to find-out that as well. This is one of the most interesting interviews we have conducted (despite the fact that the microphone wasn't working... oops!) and anyone interested in Contemporary Music will find it no less than enlightening!
