Polyphonies de Géorgie
Description
********** Français **********
Bozar et europalia georgia invitent pas moins de trois chœurs prestigieux de la capitale géorgienne Tbilissi pour vous faire découvrir la richesse de la polyphonie de ce pays du Caucase. Cette culture du chant polyphonique de tradition orale se caractérise par la liberté d’adapter les chansons aux techniques de composition contemporaines. Il en résulte un répertoire vivant, d’une rare puissance expressive. Ce n’est pas sans raison que l’UNESCO a inscrit la polyphonie géorgienne au patrimoine immatériel de l’humanité en 2001. Lors de ce concert, laissez-vous surprendre par ces chants uniques, représentés par leur figure phare, le compositeur Ioseb Kechakmadze.

Bozar en europalia georgia nodigen maar liefst drie prestigieuze koren van de Georgische hoofdstad Tbilisi uit om je te laten kennismaken met de rijkdom van Georgische polyfonie. Kenmerkend voor deze oraal overgedragen polyfone zangcultuur is dat er een vrijheid is om de liederen aan te passen aan hedendaagse compositietechnieken. Het resultaat is een bijzonder levendig repertoire met een zeldzame muzikale uitdrukkingskracht. Niet voor niets erkende UNESCO in 2001 deze uitzonderlijke Georgische polyfonie als immaterieel erfgoed. Laat je tijdens dit concert verwonderen door deze unieke gezangen van onder meer Ioseb Kechakmadze.

Bozar and europalia invite no fewer than three prestigious choirs from the Georgian capital Tbilisi to introduce you to the richness of Georgian polyphony. Typical of this orally transmitted, polyphonic song culture is the freedom to adapt the songs to contemporary compositional techniques. The result is a particularly lively repertoire with a rare power of musical expression. So clearly, UNESCO was justified in recognising this exceptional Georgian polyphony as intangible heritage in 2001. Let yourself be amazed by these unique chants of which Ioseb Kechakmadze is the main exponent.
