As singer Hamlet Gonashvili, recognized as Voice of Georgia, was born in 1928 in Sighnagi district. His special musical talent was discovered during his theatrical studies with Rector Mikheil Kveselava, who advised Hamlet to become interested in singing on a professional level. In 1953 Hamlet Gonashvili became the leading soloist of the Georgian Song and Dance State Ensemble, and in 1969 he joined the State Song and Dance Ensemble “Rustavi”. “The ensemble's” repertoire was often based on Hamlet's character as his unique voice and virtuoso performance technique always attracted special attention. He performed both Kartli-Kakhetian and Imereti-Gurian songs and hymns, Megrelian and Abkhazian Sogs (as a narrator), and works of Georgian compositors with the great success. Along with the ensemble Rustavi, Hamlet Gonashvili traveled almost all over the world and left no one indifferent to his song including professional musicians who could not hide their admiration for the Georgian singer's abilities. "Urmuli", "Orovela", "Tsintskaro", "Tsmindao Ghmerto" (Holy God), "Gaprindi Shavo Mertskhalo", "Daigvianes" are the most prominent from his work. The Georgian singer had a perfect ability of melody articulation that was well used by a composer Iakob Bobokhidze when he chose Hamlet Gonashvili's voice for his works (''Modi Giambob", "Tovli", "Mzeo Tibatvisa").

Victor Dolidze is a famous Georgian composer born in Ozurgeti in 1890. In 1910, while being in Tbilisi Commercial School, he formed an orchestra of mandolin-players and guitarists, while at the same time he was studying in the class of violin and composition at the Kiev Music School.

Johann Sebastian Bach was better known as a virtuoso organist than as a composer in his day. His sacred music, organ and choral works, and other instrumental music had an enthusiasm and seeming freedom that concealed immense rigor. Bach's use of counterpoint was brilliant and innovative, and the immense complexities of his compositional style -- which often included religious and numerological symbols that seem to fit perfectly together in a profound puzzle of special codes -- still amaze musicians today. Many consider him the greatest composer of all time.

Revaz Laghidze was a famous Georgian composer who was born in 1921 in Bagdadi district. In 1939, he graduated from Tbilisi IV Music School, after which he continued his studies at the Vano Sarajishvili Tbilisi State Conservatoire.

The Beatles, the most popular and influential band was founded in 1960 in city Liverpool, comprising with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Star. They revolutionized the world of popular music for over a decade. The group created by the influence of 1950s rock and roll gradually enriched their own repertoire by psychedelic music and rock sound and laid the foundation for a new cultural phenomenon, Beatlemania.

Louis Armstrong (Born on 1901-1971) was American trumpet virtuoso, composer and vocalist, who is considered to be one of the most influential musicians in the jazz history. His creative work counts 5 decades and this period of time is considered to be a vital period for the development of jazz.

Frank Sinatra (1915-1998) was an American singer, actor and producer who was one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century. He is one of the best-selling artists of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide.

Michael Jackson wasn't merely the biggest pop star of his era, shaping the sound and style of the '70s and '80s; he was one of the defining stars of the 20th century, a musician who changed the contours of American culture. A preternaturally gifted singer and dancer, Jackson first rose to stardom in 1969 as the 11-year-old frontman for his family's band, the Jackson 5.

Elvis Presley may be the single most important figure in 20th-century popular music. Not necessarily the best, and certainly not the most consistent, but no one could argue with the fact that he was the musician most responsible for popularizing rock & roll on an international level.

Ray Charles was the musician most responsible for developing soul music. Singers like Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson also did a great deal to pioneer the form, but Charles did even more to devise a new form of black pop by merging '50s R&B with gospel-powered vocals, adding plenty of flavor from contemporary jazz, blues, and (in the '60s) country.

B.B King

Elton John was the biggest pop star of the '70s, grabbing headlines and generating hits throughout the world.

Reggae's most transcendent and iconic figure, Bob Marley was the first Jamaican artist to achieve international superstardom, in the process introducing the music of his native island nation to the far-flung corners of the globe. Marley's music gave voice to the day-to-day struggles of the Jamaican experience, vividly capturing not only the plight of the country's impoverished and oppressed but also the devout spirituality that remains their source of strength. His songs of faith, devotion, and revolution created a legacy that continues to live on not only through the music of his extended family but also through generations of artists the world over touched by his genius.

Grammy Award winner Miles Davis was a major force in the jazz world, as both a trumpet player and a bandleader.

"Soul Brother Number One," "The Godfather of Soul," "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business," "Mr. Dynamite" -- those are mighty titles, but no one can question that James Brown earned them more than any other performer. Other singers were more popular, others were equally skilled, but few other musicians were so influential over the course of popular music.

Edith Piaf is almost universally regarded as France's greatest popular singer. Still revered as an icon decades after her death, "the Sparrow" served as a touchstone for virtually every chansonnier, male or female, who followed her. Her greatest strength wasn't so much her technique, or the purity of her voice, but the raw, passionate power of her singing. (Given her extraordinarily petite size, audiences marveled all the more at the force of her vocals.)

In his brief four-year reign as a superstar, Jimi Hendrix expanded the vocabulary of the electric rock guitar more than anyone before or since. Hendrix was a master at coaxing all manner of unforeseen sonics from his instrument, often with innovative amplification experiments that produced astral-quality feedback and roaring distortion.

Stevie Wonder is a much-beloved American icon and an indisputable genius not only of R&B but popular music in general. Blind virtually since birth, Wonder's heightened awareness of sound helped him create vibrant, colorful music teeming with life and ambition.

Evgeni Mikeladze (July 27, 1903 – 1937) was a leading Georgian orchestra conductor of the 1930s, executed during the Joseph Stalin's Great Purges. He attended musical classes at the Cadet Corps, Tbilisi Real School and finally entered the Tbilisi National Conservatory.

A native of Kutaisi and a graduate of the Tbilisi State Conservatory (where he was taught by David Andguladze, a renowned vocal pedagogue and a one-time leading tenor of the Tbilisi Opera), Andjaparidze came to conquer the Soviet capital with a star-caliber professional potential: besides a magnificent voice, charisma and solid vocal training, he also had the stage record of seven seasons at the Tbilisi Opera Theater, where he performed a series of lead tenor roles. This was truly an impressive foundation since the Tbilisi Opera was recognized as one of the Soviet Union's top five theaters, with celebrated masters gracing its stage.

2Pac became the unlikely martyr of gangsta rap, and a tragic symbol of the toll its lifestyle exacted on urban black America. At the outset of his career, it didn't appear that he would emerge as one of the definitive rappers of the '90s -- he started out as a second-string rapper and dancer for Digital Underground, joining only after they had already landed their biggest hit. But in 1991, he delivered an acclaimed debut album, 2Pacalypse Now, and quickly followed with a star-making performance in the urban drama Juice. Over the course of one year, his profile rose substantially, based as much on his run-ins with the law as his music.

Dimitri Arakishvili was a Georgian composer and ethnomusicologist regarded as one of the founding fathers of modern Georgian music. He helped in founding the People’s Conservatory in Moscow, and was actively involved in collecting and popularising Georgian folk-music.

The 19th and 20th centuries can be freely referred to as the Renaissance of Georgian Culture where Zakaria Paliashvili was assigned a truly prominent role. Known for his innovative views and ideas, he was one of the outstanding representatives of his generation.

George balanchine is regarded as the foremost contemporary choreographer in the world of ballet. The son of a composer, Balanchine early in life gained a knowledge of music that far exceeds that of most of his fellow choreographers. He began studying the piano at the age of five and following his graduation in 1921, from the Imperial Ballet School (the St. Petersburg academy where he had started his dance studies at the age of nine), he enrolled in the state's Conservatory of Music, where he studied piano and musical theory, including composition, harmony and counterpoint, for three years.

The Georgian National Ballet was founded by Iliko Sukhishvili and Nino Ramishvili in 1945 and was initially named as The Georgian State Dance Company. It was the first professional state dance company in Georgia. After them many other companies were founded on their example.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was not only one of the greatest composers of the Classical period, but one of the greatest of all time. Surprisingly, he is not identified with radical formal or harmonic innovations, or with the profound kind of symbolism heard in some of Bach's works. Mozart's best music has a natural flow and irresistible charm, and can express humor, joy or sorrow with both conviction and mastery. His operas, especially his later efforts, are brilliant examples of high art, as are many of his piano concertos and later symphonies. Even his lesser compositions and juvenile works feature much attractive and often masterful music.

Vano Mtchedlishvili, Samuel Chavleishvili, Sandro Kavsadze and Dzuku Lolua were Georgian singers and folklorists, who made the greatest contribution to the preservation of Georgian folklore.

Whitney Houston was inarguably one of the biggest female pop stars of all time. Her accomplishments as a hitmaker were extraordinary; just to scratch the surface, she became the first artist ever to have seven consecutive singles hit number one, and her 1993 Dolly Parton cover "I Will Always Love You" became nothing less than the biggest hit single in rock history. Houston was able to handle big adult contemporary ballads, effervescent, stylish dance-pop, and slick urban contemporary soul with equal dexterity; the result was an across-the-board appeal that was matched by scant few artists of her era, and helped her become one of the first black artists to find success on MTV in Michael Jackson's wake.

The events of Beethoven's life are the stuff of Romantic legend, evoking images of the solitary creator shaking his fist at fate and finally overcoming it through a supreme effort of creative will. His compositions, which frequently pushed the boundaries of tradition and startled audiences with their originality and power, are considered by many to be the foundation of 19th-century musical principals.
