The Festival of Georgian Songs

In this concert, five 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 Tsitsishvili, 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.

After the concert, festivities continue down the road for a traditional Georgian celebratory meal, marked by toasting, singing and over-eating.
