About the Event
5 ensembles share their passion for the ancient polyphonic vocal traditions of the Republic of Georgia. Featuring Melbourne Georgian Choir, Dir Krzysztof Derwinski, Melbourne Polytechnic Ensemble, Dir Nino Tsitsitshvily, The Footscray Hotel Choir, Dir Lloyd O'Hanlon, Gorani and Tsinskaro. They sing songs coming out of rural traditions - harvest, planting, plowing, exquisite church music and drinking songs. The music is powerful, the harmonies unfamiliar and the singing joyous. SUPRA
After the concert, join us for a 'supra', a traditional georgian celebratory meal, marked by toasting, singing and over-eating! The Australian version is a little more measured, but lots of fun! Join us at Gemma Simply Italian restaurant (183 Elgin St, Carlton) after the concert finishes (5pm) for a splendid celebration.
Tickets Full Price - Concert Only $30 Concession - Concert Only $25 Supra (1x Meal Included) $40 Bookings can be made here.
