The Northern Georgian Society celebrates Georgian polyphonic singing by raising awareness of the choral and folk traditions through workshops, performance and supras (a Georgian feast) with a view to strengthening relationships and cultural understanding between the UK and Georgia.

NGS aims to link together existing Georgian choirs and other musical groups in the UK and Georgia by providing opportunites to meet, learn and perform together.

NGS provides a communication and organisation service for touring programmes, venues, media links, transport and information about existing established contacts across the UK for singing ensembles and individuals from Georgia.

People are welcome to join the society if they have an interest in Georgian music or culture. There are no membership fees.
