St. Clair Productions presents Chirgilchin, throat-singers of Tuva, in concert on Saturday, October 10, 8 p.m., at the Unitarian Center, 4th and C Streets, Ashland. Throat-singing is an vocal form in which one singer produces two or more voices simultaneously, harmonizing one with another to create richly layered melodies evoking central Asian steppes and nomadic life. Members of Chirgilchen are recent champions of the Tuvan National throat-singing competition held in Tuva's capital. The group sings ancient folk songs in the Tuvan language and play their own handmade traditional instruments, such as the doshpuluur, a two-stringed lute; igil, a two-stringed fiddle; and dungur, a rattle drum used by Tuvan shamans in their ceremonies.
