Dear Member,

Nana, as the many of us who been delighted by her singing or attended her workshops know, is an eminent ethnomusicologist from the Tbilisi Music Conservatoire with deep knowledge of Georgian polyphony. She comes from one of Georgia’s distinguished musical families.

She is a member of the female Ensemble Sathanao who have researched and revived ancient chants, discovered in early 19^th century transcriptions but again on the edge of extinction.

 Nana has taken her research further and this time she will talk about the healing power of polyphonic music that are being rediscovered in modern-day therapy and medical practice.  She will describe, and illustrate, how Georgia polyphony played a traditional in daily life and healing rituals to ensure the welfare of the individual, family and the village group. This is now recognised as offering many lessons for us today.
