Ensemble Basiani
In repertoire spanning the seventh to 13th centuries, Ensemble Basiani embodies a vocal tradition unique to the Republic of Georgia. The 12-member, all-male choir of the Tbilisi Holy Trinity Cathedral Church are practitioners of a complex, three-voice polyphony that weaves surprising harmonies, melodic yodeling, and pristine intonation to deliver a celestial sound. With a vast canon of sacred, folk, dance, and love songs that traverses their colorful country—from the mountainous north, to the eastern Kakheti region, to the Black Sea in the west—Ensemble Basiani’s music is the most captivating in the world.
Tickets are $30. A portion of each AAUW ticket goes towards local scholarships. Spouses and friends are welcome. Please reserve tickets by October 31st.
Please send reservations by October 31st to: Rosemary Baker. Make checks payable to: AAUW Easton Branch.

He will explain how current unfair rules allow committee chairs to block broadly supported bipartisan solutions from getting to a vote. He will address the need to reform the rules in Harrisburg and he will discuss ways that organizations like AAUW Easton Branch and individuals can advocate for change. This is a public education program and open to the general public.
Bring your questions and bring friends.
