Mtiebi
-
Traditional Georgian Male Voice Choir. A rare opportunity to
see this internationally-renowned, authentic male voice choir from
the heart of the Caucasian mountains with a repertoire of songs
and music that stretches back over centuries with a song for every
occasion - powerful, exhilarating and uplifting! The Mtiebi choir
of ten male voices (and dancers) bring with them traditional
songs, music and dances gathered from all over Georgia, most
collected from rural communities at times when the Soviet Union
was forbidding such an exercise. This collection saved music and
song from possible extinction and Mtiebi would often return to the
source village and perform for the local community as a way of
embedding it once again into rural tradition. It’s a living yet
ancient culture, and music from hundreds of years ago exists side
by side with more recent material. As well as these performances,
there will be workshops leading to a finale event by community
choirs at the Eden Project in Cornwall in June. |
