[cid:image002.jpg@01CDB74C.D44A0270]On November 8, join us for a special event at the First Church Congregational in Harvard Square.
At the forefront of the sacred music revival in Georgia, Sakhioba Ensemble (http://www.georgianchant.org/) makes their
debut concert tour in the United States in fall 2012.
The word 'sakhioba' means 'sweet singing,' either with instruments or voices. The Sakhioba Ensemble is committed to the revival of
traditional Georgian music, paying special attention to the intonation, timbre and arrangements of the remaining masters of traditional singing.
Director Malkhaz Erkvanidze is a world authority on Georgian polyphonic music. He has spent his professional life rescuing church hymns and
prayers suppressed under Soviet communism. His six books of Georgian hymns have been published with CDs and he has written many articles
about the distinctive musical structure of Georgian polyphony.
Thursday, November 8, 8 p.m. concert; 7:30 p.m. pre-concert lecture, Tickets are $20 general admission, $15 students/seniors
