A Midsummer’s Day Concert
On 24th June at 7.30pm, join Chela and Buska for a songful celebration of Midsummer’s Day in Emmanuel United Reformed Church on Trumpington Street in Cambridge. The choirs will be singing a mixture of folk songs and city songs, wedding songs and harvest songs, as well as a few religious songs, both Christian and Pagan. In the interval we will be offering Georgian wine and soft drinks in return for a donation. As has become a Chela tradition, we will not be charging for entry to the concert, but ask that you give as generously as you are able as you leave, as all profits go towards supporting homeless children in Tbilisi as well as Georgian singing teachers visiting the UK. You can reserve yourself one of the best seats in the house 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.
In concert and workshop at FolkEast 2017
