From November 20-25, supported by the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Georgia, the 6th Tbilisi Baroque Festival will be held in a remote format.

Online lectures are also planned within the framework of the festival; the audience will have the opportunity to listen to interesting discussions by professors Nodar Ladaria and David Gigineishvili, as well as artist Gia Bugadze, about various ongoing processes in the Baroque era.

On November 22, the Giorgi Alexidze "Tbilisi Contemporary Ballet" will present Mariam Alexidze's online educational video-performance – "Giorgi Alexidze's Neo-Baroque", which will talk about Giorgi Alexidze's dance style, while the troupe will present compositions staged by Giorgi Alexidze to the music of Baroque period composers.

The festival will conclude on November 25. The Tbilisi State Chamber Orchestra will offer the audience a concert entitled "Italian Concerts", where the orchestra's musicians will perform as soloists and present works by Vivaldi, Corelli, Marcello and Handel.
