The sounds of Central Asia are coming to Richards School Friday, March 22 at 7 p.m. with the Alash Ensemble of Tuva. The concert in the Great Hall at the north end of the school (Door #4) is free, but donations are welcome.
Alash, based in the Republic of Tuva in Central Asia, has won numerous international awards in Tuvan throat singing, a technique which allows vocalists to sing multiple pitches at one time.
Ensemble members also play a variety of Tuvan traditional instruments, contributing to an overall musical experience that a Washington Post review described as “absolutely stunning.” Translator/manager for the band is Sean Quirk who grew up in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin.
