He was struck by the presence and authenticity of the singers and the power of the songs to energize and inspire, and to stir some ancestral memory of a world all but forgotten. From that meeting a seed was sown that has become the choir as it is today. In 2010 we were honoured to be invited to sing at the Chveneburebi Festival in Borjomi and Tbilisi. In 2012 we spent time in Svaneti in the Caucasus mountains and the eastern region of Kakheti, learning songs and to experiencing Georgia's rich and vibrant culture first hand. And so, it is the Georgian spirit of celebration, friendship and joy for life that inspires us.
