Join the CWM in welcoming Ensemble Adilei and the Chamgeliani Sisters from the Republic of Georgia. This very special evening will introduce you to the sacred and secular spaces of one of the oldest polyphonic singing traditions in Europe.
Ensemble Adilei will impress you with their vocal prowess and technical skills in k?rimanch?uli, a yodeling technique from the western part of the country. Their energy and dedication to the folk tradition will warm you over.
The Chamgeliani sisters will sing a repertoire of songs from their native village of Lakhushdi (Upper Svaneti). Accompanied by the chuniri, a banjo-sized three-stringed bowed viol, Ana and Madona weave the tales of their mountainous region known for its beautiful landscape and unique medieval towers.
The evening will start in the sanctity of St. George Serbian Orthodox Church where the audience will be engulfed by the sacred space and sounds of the Georgian a cappella choir. Following intermission, we will gather again, this time inside the Social Hall for light refreshments and folk songs extolling the virtues of the homeland, long life, and love, among others. The repertoire may also include dance songs and lullabies.
Don't miss your chance to experience traditional Georgian polyphonic singing, one of the worlds threatened musical traditions identified on UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. (less)
