Mongolian Throat Singing
CMA Cinema at Carnegie Museum of Art presents a free concert and demonstration of Mongolian throat singing, Sunday, December 8, at 7:00 p.m. in Carnegie Lecture Hall.
Throat singing, Mongolia's national art form, is an ancient musical tradition that enables a singer to produce two or more
notes simultaneously, producing an eerie sound some listeners have likened to the music of the bagpipes.
The concert's principal performer is B. Odsuren, Mongolia's preeminent teacher of throat singing, who will be accompanied by B. Battuvshin, who will serve as translator and will perform on the morin khuur, a two-stringed horse-head fiddle.
The free concert and demonstration will take place in Carnegie Lecture Hall, which is in the museum complex just off Schenley Drive, after the 5:00 p.m. screening of Kosh Ba Kosh, the final film in CMA Cinema's Kazakh/Tadjik film series. Kosh Ba Kosh, a 1993 film from Tadjikistan that won the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival, tells the story of a beautiful young woman who
is given away to settle a gambling debt and is threatened from all sides in an out-of-control Central Asian city on the brink of civil war.
