On August 16, legendary chansonnier Charles Aznavour will headline a concert dedicated to the opening of the rehabilitated Rabat fortress in Akhaltsikhe, Georgia, head of Eastern Promotion Company said.

Eastern Promotion is the organizer of Aznavour’s visit to Georgia.

“This will be Aznavour’s first ever concert in our country. Young Georgian jazz singer Beka Gochiashvili will open the concert, to be followed by the chansonnier’s performance,” Kakha Kandelaki said, adding that live stream of the concert will be provided.

Aznavour’s father was an expatriate Javakhk-Armenian.
