Georgian Music
Music from Georgia has been described as strident, startling, sonorous, alarming, mesmerizing, haunting, and breath-taking; indeed, it is a folk and sacred music tradition that has withstood the tests of time. Situated in the mountainous valleys and broad plains of the South Caucasian mountain range, Georgia has struggled for its very existence against invasions by aggressive neighbors including the Assyrians, Persians, Mongols, Turks, and Russians.
The Princeton Georgian Choirs are dedicated to the study and practice of traditional folk and sacred music. To promote cultural awareness of Georgian song traditions, we meet twice a week to rehearse and perform regularly on and off campus. The choirs are not auditioned and function on a strong volunteer-based participation and leadership model, ably guided by artistic director John A. Graham, a musicology graduate student who has lived and studied in Georgia for many years.
