Georgian ensemble ‘Sakhioba’ will tour in November 2011.  A 12-strong all-male ensemble, they will perform both Georgian church and folk music, instrumentals and traditional dances, presenting a rare opportunity to experience an ancient tradition from the Caucasus.

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.
