In this concert, five ensembles share their passion for the ancient polyphonic vocal traditions of the Republic of Georgia.

Featuring ³Ô¹ÏÍø Georgian Choir, Dir Krzysztof Derwinski, ³Ô¹ÏÍø 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.
