We’re going back to Georgia — together again, to the source of song.

A singing journey with Georgian polyphony, 26 June – 4 July 2026, Georgia: Svaneti and Adjara. Will you come with us?

We didn’t plan to return so soon. Truly. But Georgia is calling us again — because what we experienced there in 2025 was so intensely beautiful that we decided to share it with another group of people for whom music, community, and authentic experience are at the heart of travel.

Georgia teaches that polyphony is not a “style,” but a way of being together. That voices don’t compete — they support one another. That singing doesn’t begin with notes, but with relationship.

Where we’re going

We’ll be in places where song is still part of everyday life: in homes, in courtyards, around tables, on the road. Places where people have been singing “forever,” and no one needs to explain why. In regions like Svaneti and in the Ajara, where landscape and voice have more in common than one might expect.

We are not going to learn a “repertoire” - we are going to listen, observe, try, and sing together: sometimes awkwardly, sometimes beautifully, always truthfully.

What it will be like

There will be workshops with local masters.
There will be learning by ear.
There will be shared singing without rehearsals.
There will be evenings that last longer than we planned.

Not everything can be planned — and that’s a good thing.
From experience, we know that the most important moments on journeys like this happen in between:
- between rehearsal and dinner,
- between conversation and silence,
- between one sound and the next.

We also know that journeys like this stay with you for a long time. Sometimes they change the way you listen to music.
Sometimes — the way you are in a choir. And sometimes they simply open an inner space you didn’t know existed.

If you feel that:
- you want to travel not “to a workshop,” but on a journey,
- you’re curious about singing as relationship, not performance,
- you want to be in a place where music is not an addition to life,
then perhaps this is the moment.

We’re returning to Georgia — and we’d love to take another group of people with us.
