Saturday 23rd October: Bristol Georgian Choir £8/£6Supported by local sensation 'Menfolk Waits' The Bristol Georgian Choir is a mixed chorus for adults, learning, singing and performing three part harmony folk songs and sacred chants from the Republic of Georgia.
The choir began it's life in Bristol in 2004 and has been performing to delighted audiences in locations in and around Bristol such as Ashton Court Festival, the Watershed Theatre, the Venn Festival, Harbourside Festival, in Bristol University 's Wills Memorial Building as part of the University's Arts Based Educational Research Conference and the annual Georgian Studies Day. The choir performed last year at the Rudolf Steiner House Regents Park , as part of the Chveneburebi Festival . At a recent concert given in St Aidan's Church, St George, Bristol , members of the audience commented: "Spellbinding - I didn't want the concert to end." "Fantastic concert and a wonderful sound - you sounded like real Georgians!" "Wonderful music - exceptional voices" About Georgian Polyphony The Republic of Georgia is a small country of 4 million people, at the cross roads of East and West. It is home to a treasure trove of three part harmony songs, many of which have their roots in ancient and even pre-Christian times. The music is varied as each region, often cut off by mountains, developed its own particular songs, variations and styles of singing. There are dance songs, lullabies, work songs, travelling songs, and lyrical love songs, telling stories of people's loves, joys and hardships. There is also a rich tradition of Georgian sacred music. Songs are often accompanied by dances and are sung at a supra - a traditional ceremonial feast that features eloquent toasts and singing.

Strangeworld play what's been described as haunting, energetic and exquisite music. A top class acoustic folk band formed in 2005 – they've performed at all sorts of weird and wonderful venues including music festivals, folk festivals and arts centres, countrywide - with a marvellous mix of instruments including cello and medieval rauschpfeifen. Very atmospheric! 
The acclaimed period performance group Arioso presents an exciting show of dance and vocal music to celebrate the opening of the Hebden bridge in 1510. This fascinating programme will include some of the best loved renaissance music from the first 100 years of the bridge's life; such as famous dances by Praetorius, broken consort music favoured by Queen Elizabeth, songs by Dowland, and settings of the celebrated Aria del Gran Duca - 'O che nuove miracolo'. Also pieces from the very beginnings of the baroque era, including music by Monteverdi and a wonderful setting of Ramsey's innovative musical drama involving the Witch of Endor, Saul and the ghost of Samuel! This enjoyable and highly accessible mix could be enhanced only by the near-perfect acoustic of the venue. 
Established in 2009 Millegro have already become a major force on York Cultural Scene. Combining Classics, Jazz, World Music and Soul…this most innovative 60-strong contemporary choir brings a choral celebration dedicated to the diverse and the unexpected! 
An unusual and intriguing duo (“a combination that is a revelation and a delight to the ear”) that has given pleasure to audiences the length and breadth of the UK . They have most notably performed at London 's South Bank London, and recently at Gower and Guildford Festivals. 
Due Voci present a programme of Early and Romantic music, full of love and passion. From Monteverdi to Tchaikovsky and Chausson, join them to hear how composers across the years have expressed these universal themes.
