The “Night Serenades” Festival opened on August 20 with a gala concert in Borjomi and continued on August 22, 24, and 26 at the Ilia Chavchavadze Drama Theatre in Batumi. Alongside the sold-out concert evenings filled with ovations, the festival also featured exhibitions of Georgian artists, specialized masterclasses, and workshops for students and persons with disabilities or special educational needs.
