On Friday evening, April 24 Altai opens its doors for a special living room concert with Batzorig Vaanchig. No big hall, no remote stage, but a warm and personal setting where you can experience the music up close. Please note that the number of places is very limited.
Batzorig Vaanchig is one of Mongolia's most respected throat singers and morin khur players and known worldwide for his powerful, pure style. During this evening, he takes you into traditional Mongolian songs, throat singing and instrumental music that are usually only heard on major stages or in Mongolia itself.
Expect a deep and enchanting musical journey with khömii (throat singing), morin kuur (horse-headed violin), tovshuur (lute) and more! Acoustic, pure and straight out of an ancient nomadic tradition.
As usual in Mongolian culture, hospitality central. We welcome you to our living room with traditional milk tea and small (Mongolian) treats. Before and after the concert, there is room to ask questions, talk to the artist and see instruments up close.
This living room concert is part of Batzorig Vaanchig's first solo tour of Europe and is a rare opportunity to experience his music in an intimate, private setting. An evening for lovers of world music, singing, culture and true connection.
