Content: Long hidden behind the Himalayan mountain ranges, the ancient Tibetan culture remained virtually untouched by the outside world for thousands of years. Now you will have an opportunity to experience the rare sounds and dramatic imagery of Tibetan sacred dances, music and chants. Ancient Tibetan multiphonic chanting is a rare and unique experience created by monks singing a chord containing two or three tones simultaneously.
This performance features monks from the renowned Gaden Shartse Monastery, All of the performances include an introduction as well as a question and answer period. This gives the audience has an opportunity to engage the monks and learn more about Tibetan culture. The Gaden Shartse vision on the tour is not simply to perform, but also to interact and engage with the communities they encounter. They want to be accessible so that we might join together in becoming part of a world community.
