Tengerton Ensemble & Erdenetsetseg Khenmedekh Trio

In the organizer's words:

Of superhuman voices and animal instruments

A large proportion of the more than two million Mongolians still lead a nomadic life today, in harmony and to the rhythm of nature and together with the "five jewels" of the Mongolian steppe: horse, camel, yak, sheep and goat. Their singing practice is also deeply rooted in the natural environment: the human voice imitates animal sounds and traces the landscapes in melodies. The Tengerton Ensemble and the Erdenetsetseg Khenmedekh Trio will be performing two traditional forms of singing from Mongolia: Epic songs and the overtone singing "Khöömii", in which a single voice sings two tones simultaneously - a low one and a very high, spherical one above it.
