In 1965 the eighteen-year-old Liana Isakadze was awarded 1st prize and the Grand Prix at the Marguerite Long–Jacques Thibaud International Competition.

Since then the orchestra has won tremendous international acclaim. From 1990–1997 in accordance with an agreement between Audi and Liana Isakadze and with the support of the authorities in Ingolstadt (Germany) the orchestra became based there. This allowed Liana Isakadze to expand the geography of her recitals and offer the orchestra the opportunity at perform at the world’s most prestigious venues. In 1998 the orchestra returned to its native land where it was directed by Liana Isakadze until 2005.

In Ingolstadt Liana Isakadze founded the David Oistrakh Academy of String Instruments. She has also established numerous international festivals, among them Night Serenades (Georgia-Germany), Musicians Joking (Tbilisi-Moscow), the Arts Festival in Borjomi and the Liana Isakadze Festival in Vienna and Lichtenstein.

In 2011 she founded the Virtuosos of Facebook orchestra and the Friends of Facebook international festival. The first concerts of this festival took place in Batumi (Georgia).
Liana Isakadze has been awarded the honorary titles of People’s Artist of Georgia and

People’s Artist of the USSR (at the time, she was the youngest musician ever to receive the title). Moreover, Liana Isakadze has received the State Prize of Georgia on three occasions. In 2003 St Petersburg hosted the Liana Isakadze International Violin Competition.

Numerous documentary films have been made about Liana Isakadze in Georgia, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Japan and Russia.
In 2011 outside the Tbilisi Philharmonic, Liana Isakadze’s Honorary Star was unveiled.
