Women's ensemble, Nanina, from the country of Georgia, are visiting Glasgow as part of a UK wide tour. They will be teaching a workshop, followed by a performance of Georgian polyphonic songs.
'Nanina are excellent Georgian traditional singers as well as singing masterclass leaders, they have a great knowledge of Georgian traditional singing styles. Nanina's concerts and masterclasses are always an exciting journey into Georgia's rich cultural traditions.'
Vineta Romane, Leader of Ensemble Saucējas from Latvia
'I am very impressed by Nanina. This ensemble is made up of individuals with a great deal of knowledge and experience in performing Georgian Folk songs.'
Susan Thompson, Co-host, 'Voices of the Ancestors' podcast.
The centrepiece of the tour will be a weekend event called ts'utisopeli (წუთისოფელი), at which singers from across the UK will gather to learn and sing together, and to share a supra, or Georgian feast. This will be a full weekend of workshops, feasting and performance, bringing together our visiting Georgian ensembles, as well as singers from across the UK.
