NEWTON, Mass. – The wildly popular TV program “The Voice. Kids. Ukraine” has crowned a Georgian boy, 12-year-old Alexandre Zazarashvili, as the winner. The people of Ukraine, awed by the boy’s extraordinary vocal gift and moved by his generous heart and beautiful personality, voted for his victory.
According to the judges, they have never had a talent of such magnitude on their programs before. One of the judges called him the “world’s eighth wonder,” and Alexandre’s videos from “The Voice” have over 3 million views on YouTube.
In addition to the first prize on “The Voice. Kids. Ukraine” Alexandre Zazarashvili has also won a number of other competitions, including the Talents of the World “The Road to Carnegie Hall” Competition in Georgia, a competition for youths under age 18.
Alexandre is traveling to the United States for the first time in his life, to make his Carnegie Hall debut with Talents of the World on September 20 in a program titled “David Gvinianidze and Friends.”
Before and after the Carnegie Hall performance, Alexandre will be touring the U.S., singing at Newton City Hall in Massachusetts on September 15 in a program titled “The Road to Carnegie Hall” and at the Ukrainian National Home in Hartford, Conn., on September 29 in “Voices of Ukraine and Georgia.” For the full list of performances, readers may visit www.TalentsOfTheWorld.org.

Representing Alexandre in the U.S. are critically acclaimed singers David Gvinianidze, baritone (president and founder of Talents of the World), and Olga Lisovska, soprano (director of Talents of the World). They are both winners of many vocal competitions, have performed at Carnegie Hall, and are soloists with opera houses throughout the world.
