Ialoni return visit
By popular demand, Ialoni are making a return visit to the UK, and Chela are lucky enough to be able to host them at Little St Mary’s Church again. Save the date: Friday, 7th September at 8pm. Free entry, but make sure of a good seat by emailing chelatickets@gmail.com.
A Celebration of Georgian Song
In early April Chela are looking forward to welcoming members of award-winning women’s ensemble “Ialoni” from Tbilisi. Ialoni are led by Nino Naneishvili, who has visited Cambridge several times before and each time captivated us with her joyful teaching style and repertoire of songs.
On Friday 6th April we will be sharing the stage with Ialoni in Little St Mary’s Church on Trumpington Street, Cambridge, singing a mixture of secular and church songs from Georgia. Do come and join us if you can – you can reserve seats in advance by email – see attached poster for details.
