Tamara Gverdtsiteli has been part of the Spasskaya Tower Festival since 2015. In the grand finale of the 2016 Festival she performed together with Mireille Mathieu, a famous French singer. They performed Une vie d’amour, a song written by Charles Aznavour to the music of Georges Garvarentz.

The following anniversary year she performed together with the Combined Band of the Festival and presented her Light up the Candles song (music and lyrics by Sergey Kuznetsov) that she dedicated to the memory of Lieutenant General Valery Khalilov, the first Music Director of the Festival.
