As part of the Dennos concert series Global Opportunity programming we are proud to present the Tuvan throat singing group Alash on November 16 at 8 PM in Milliken Auditorium. This concert is presented in association with Outreach Services’ International Week and Go Global Expo at the Dennos on November 16th.
Alash are masters of Tuvan throat singing (xöömei), a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. What distinguishes this gifted trio from earlier generations of Tuvan throat singers is the subtle infusion of modern influences into their traditional music. One can find complex harmonies, western instruments, and contemporary song forms in Alash’s music, but its overall sound and spirit is decidedly Tuvan.
Alash first toured the U.S. under the sponsorship of the Open World Leadership program of the Library of Congress and the National Endowment for the Arts. Since then they have returned many times, to the delight of American audiences. The Washington Post described their music as “utterly stunning,” quipping that after the performance “audience members picked their jaws up off the floor.”
Tickets for Alash can be obtained by calling the Box Office at 231-995-1553 or online at www.dennosmuseum.org. Two for one tickets are available for this concert – use the code ALASH to get special Go Global pricing.
Tickets are free to NMC Students with ID at the Box Office and at the Door. Faculty, please encourage your students to attend!
