Warren Miller Performing Arts Center: Alash Ensemble: Throat Singers from the Republic of Tuva
2025-03-04 19:30 - 21:00 | Warren Miller Performing Arts Center, 45465 Gallatin Road, Gallatin Gateway, MT, 59730, United States
“It’s one of the most astonishing sounds a human body can produce.” — Washington Post

Throat Singers from the Republic of Tuva
Alash are masters of Tuvan throat singing, a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. They are also masters of traditional Tuvan instruments. They are deeply committed to traditional Tuvan music and culture, and at the same time they are fans of western music. Believing that traditional music must constantly evolve, these talented musicians subtly infuse their songs with western elements, creating their own unique style that is fresh and new but still true to their Tuvan musical heritage.
What Does Throat Singing Sound Like?
“Imagine a human bagpipe—a person who could sing a sustained low note while humming an eerie, whistle-like melody. For good measure, toss in a thrumming rhythm similar to that of a jaw harp, but produced vocally-by the same person, at the same time.”— Newsweek
Tuva (sometimes spelled Tyva) sits at the southern edge of Siberia, with Mongolia to its south. Over the centuries, Tuva has been part of Chinese and Mongolian empires, and shares many cultural ties with Mongolia. In 1944 it became part of the USSR, and until the late physicist Richard Feynman drew attention to it, was largely unknown to westerners. The Republic of Tuva is now part of the Russian Federation.
