Tuvan throat singers perform at Meany

The UW World Music & Theatre Series continues with Tyva Kyzy (Daughters of
Tuva). This remarkable all-woman ensemble performs the seven styles of
Tuvan throat singing, a multiple-tone technique admired for its almost
unearthly beauty. The performance will be at 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 27 in
Meany Hall.

The music of Tyva Kyzy is the music of Tuva, a land of high mountains and
broad valleys separating the Siberian forest from the desert of Mongolia.
In this land, the Tuvan people have created a musical culture inspired by
the stark beauty of the landscape and the daily routines of traditional
Tuvan life.

In their songs, the Tuvan people sing about hunting and herding, preparing
food, visiting family, and falling in love. Most of all, they sing about
Tuva: the rivers, lakes, mountains and meadows that surround them.

Ticket-holders are invited to come early to learn more about Tyva Kyzy and
Tuvan throat singing at a free, pre-show lecture. UW World Series pre-show
lectures begin 45 minutes prior to curtain and take place in the Meany
Hall west lobby.

Tyva Kyzy will also appear Thursday, Jan. 25 in a program titled, From the
Cradle to the Saddle: Tuvan Women and Throat Singing at the Seattle Asian
Art Museum. The event features perspectives from scholars, storytellers,
entrepreneurs and members of Tyva Kyzy. This forum is from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
It is free and open to the public.

Tickets to the Meany Hall concert are $30 and may be purchased in person
at the UW Arts Ticket Office, by phone at 206-543-4880, and online at
www.uwworldseries.org.
