So please join us tonight and/or tomorrow night in Hodgson Concert Hall at the UGA Performing Arts Center for a delightful evening of holiday favorites performed live.
The Tuva are the people of southern Suberia; Tuvan throat singing is a musical form that has flourished for centuries in central Asia.
Is it possible to sing two tones at once? Come and hear a demonstration of the singing technique of khoomei (known simply as “throat singing” outside of Tuva) and learn about how it is produced. When the singer performs khoomei, precise acoustic filtering within the throat allows the listener to hear multiple tones simultaneously.
Come and learn!
