Together they will perform new material from Melua’s forthcoming recording project as well as a selection of classic songs from her six-album catalogue – from the 2003 debut Call Off The Search to 2013’s Ketevan. The choir was founded in 1970 at Gori’s School of Music, and is lead and conducted by Teona Tsiramua. Georgian polyphonic singing has been designated by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

“The last 18 months of working with Gori Women’s Choir in Georgia has been so inspiring,” said Melua. “I am immensely looking forward to performing with them across the UK and Europe this winter.”
