A wonderful organ concert!!! Bach, Vivaldi playing the organ live is something. And for the first time we heard rock music on the organ! It was strong! I put it in my piggy bank of bright memories.
A 10th century temple , a museum and a concert hall in one.The acoustics were extraordinary, the concert was held in one breath.I recommend it to everyone!There is a park nearby, the air is clean, therapeutic, just a fairy tale!
I collect organs of the world, this one is in second place after Domsky. Real harmonious learning. The sound goes inside the chest and through. Full houses
A medieval Christian church adapted for a concert hall with a luxurious modern organ. The feeling at the concert is magical. It is better to buy tickets in advance due to their high popularity.
I was in 2020 in August as part of an excursion group. The temple and its history were very impressed. The organ concert itself was very impressive, the sound went through. I advise everyone to visit!
I was very upset to see the ruined frescoes of the 15th century in this Great place. The mural with gouged out eyes in the tomb of St. Andrew the First-Called, in whose name this Temple was built, looked especially creepy. How much pain and frustration the Orthodox shrine has suffered when it is not clear how it is used. They don't protect you. They mock and no one cares about it. Well, you have installed the organ, all right. You use it as a historical museum. Okay. But at least don't desecrate and protect from vandalism. At least just restore what the vandals did and install surveillance cameras. You also charge an entrance fee for concerts.
An impressive event in the life of any person is a visit to this temple, a very beautiful place, beautiful architecture, and if you still manage to get to an organ concert in this acoustically ideal hall, it will be remembered for a lifetime!
We listened to organ music performed by Luke Gadelia. Just to say that we were delighted is to say nothing... And the combination of the majestic temple with magnificent acoustics and the contact with the history stretching back 16 centuries bring you into indescribable delight. Listening to music in the temple, I was afraid to breathe, because it seemed the slightest rustle would be heard throughout the temple.
I highly recommend the organ concerts of Luke Gadelia in this temple!

A very interesting, detailed tour and a pleasant guide. The temple is in excellent condition, definitely ready to visit. If you're lucky, you can listen to the organ.
An ancient building from the Byzantine era. Inside, the exposition of old destroyed household items was not impressed. The building itself is worth a look.
A place with excellent energy. A magnificent lawn.
The concert is wonderful: Bach, performed on the organ in a building of the tenth century. The acoustics are just phenomenal)))
It's important - tickets are sold at the box office, on the day of the concert, they cannot be booked. At least that's what the cashier said.
Prices 2019 adults 600₽, children 200₽ (under 10 years old)

Mentally. If you haven't been here yet, I recommend it!!
Luca Gadelia's magnificent playing on both organ and piano. The grandeur of the temple is commensurate with the organ music, which is mesmerizing, and tears come to the listeners. The sounds of the organ inspire and inspire. And after that, there remains a desire to come to this organ hall again and again. I invite everyone to share my admiration
It's super! Be sure to visit (I was not at the concert only in the temple). But I can imagine what kind of acoustics there are. Friends were at the concert - delight, but this is not my opinion anymore
I didn't understand classical music, to my shame.. After attending the organ concert, I was very impressed, I really liked it. The first time was played by Luca Gadelia. in the wake.Luke and the vocalists performed national abc songs and others. if possible, I will go again
Beautiful Pitsunda and its monuments. It is a pity that organ concerts are only in summer, I would also like to advise you to arrange excursions in this place.
acoustics, the splendor of an ancient temple. the instrument itself is impressive. everything is available, without too much fuss. It's just a musician making music...
We were at a concert by Luca Gadelia, the acoustics are amazing! The ticket price includes a short story about the history of the temple and a visit to the ethnographic museum.
We were in the temple at the concert "Organ Promenade" by Luke Gadelia on 06/19/19- just delighted! I want to come back again! Those who will be in Pitsunda will definitely visit this temple with a concert!
