Ori Shalva, a unique musical ensemble formed in Toronto by Shalva Makharashvili and Andrea Kuzmich, is Canada’s foremost Georgian polyphonic vocal ensemble. Despite being 9,000 km away from their homeland for the past 2 decades, they have nurtured this rare & intricate musical form recognized by UNESCO as an intangible masterpiece of humanity! The authenticity of Ori Shalva’s music stems from years of dedication to a musical heritage handed down from generation to generation, and their performances are a rare opportunity to experience a living tradition still largely unknown outside the Caucasus.
