We are co-presenting our FFC members ORI SHALVA's livestream concert tomorrow that is part of an online festival by URGNT LIVE and MUSIC TOGETHER.
Over the centuries, family ensemble singing has played a significant role in keeping traditional Georgian polyphonic singing alive. And true to this preserving nature, Ori Shalva & co - otherwise known as the Makharashvili family - continue this practice despite being based in Toronto, halfway around the world, over 9000 km from the well springs of the tradition. Similarly true of the family singing unit, Ori Shalva started by performing mostly in private settings for marked family and calendric events. As the children aged and developed more skills and repertoire, the family has been finding themselves in more performance opportunities worldwide.
The ensemble includes Bachi, Luca and Gabo Makharashvili, and Andrea Kuzmich"
Festival starts at 7PM - > more details
