The Anchiskhati Choir is the world’s leading exponent of Georgian
polyphonic choral music. The choir members specialise in singing ancient
Georgian sacred and secular songs, with authentic instrumental
accompaniment, described by the U.S. magazine, The World & I, as
"diamonds polished by time" (March 2003).
Members of the Anchiskhati Choir come from different regions of Georgia where they have absorbed the unique singing traditions of their parents and grandparents. Singing weekly in the famous 6th century Anchiskhati church in Tbilisi, Georgia, the group collaborates as a group of expert and passionate ethno-musicologists, who teach, hold workshops and regularly perform in Georgia and abroad.
