Katie Melua announces winter tour with Gori Women’s Choir
Masters of the ancient Georgian tradition of polyphonic singing, the Gori Women’s Choir are described by Melua as a “completely unique vocal orchestra.” Together, they will perform new material from Melua’s upcoming recording project, along with a selection of classic songs from her six-album catalog.
“The past 18 months of collaborating with the Gori Women’s Choir in Georgia have been incredibly inspiring. I am truly excited to perform with them across the UK and Europe this winter.” – Katie Melua, March 2016.
Gori Women’s Choir
was established in 1970 at the Gori School of Music and is led and conducted
by Teona Tsiramua. Georgian polyphonic singing has been recognized by
UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
