From the Republic of Georgia! Ensemble Adilei ~ Workshop & Concert
Since 2012, Ensemble Adilei has been performing traditional Georgian polyphonic songs and chants. Adileis main passion lies in the songs from the province of Guria in Western Georgia (though other regions are also represented in their repertoire). Gurian music is  sometimes  compared to jazz, because of the emphasis on improvisation, and non-parallel movement in all the voice parts. Gurian song is also characterized by k'rimanch'uli, a yodeling technique often present in the upper voice.

For the members of Adilei singing is the primary mode of communication with the world: it is more of a lifestyle than a performance practice and is not just relegated to official concerts. They sing every time they gather, wherever that may be.

The ensemble has toured in a number of European countries, and participated in several notable folk music festivals, including the International Symposium on Traditional Polyphony in Tbilisi (Georgia), the Mare e Miniere festival in Sardinia,  and the  Zlatne Uste Golden Festival in New York, and has toured extensively. During their first US tour, the group conducted workshops, lectures, seminars, and concerts at Dartmouth, Columbia, New England Conservatory, Yale, and other  universities on the East Coast, as well as a number of more informal and intimate venues. This is Adileis second US tour, and they are delighted to share their music with you!

About  Georgian  Polyphony: Most frequently, Georgian songs consist of 3 voice parts (though 2 and 4-part songs are also somewhat common), all of which can have many patterns of movement,  depending on the region (every Georgian province has its own signature style). In addition to the intricate multi-part structure, traditional Georgian music uses a kind of  untempered tuning that differs from the Western Classical system.
