Katie Melua announces winter tour with Gori Women’s Choir

For this very special winter concert series, multi award-winning recording artist Katie Melua is joined on stage by the 23-piece Gori Women’s Choir.

Masters of the ancient Georgian tradition of polyphonic singing, Gori Women’s Choir are described by Melua as a ‘completely unique vocal orchestra’.  Together they will perform new material from Melua’s forthcoming recording project as well as a selection of classic songs from her 6 album catalogue.

“The last 18 months of working with Gori Women’s Choir in Georgia has been so inspiring. I am immensely looking forward to performing with them across the UK and Europe this winter.” Katie Melua, March 2016.
