Trio Mandili

Trio Mandili at City Winery At City Foundry STL

Some nights out are about hearing something you already know. This one is about discovering something you may not. Trio Mandili brings Georgian vocal tradition to City Winery At City Foundry STL in St. Louis on February 2, 2027, at 7:30 PM. It is a chance to step out of your usual routine and into a sound with its own distinct identity.

The draw starts with the voices. Trio Mandili is a Georgian vocal trio associated with traditional Georgian polyphonic singing, a style built on interweaving vocal lines. That is a different kind of pleasure than a single voice carrying a song. You listen to how the parts meet, cross, and lean on each other. Live, in the same room, that blend is the whole point. A recording can hint at it, but being there lets you hear it unfold in real time.

Then there is the panduri, a plucked string instrument tied to the group's musical identity. It adds texture to the voices and gives the evening a character you won't find in an ordinary night of music. No setlist is promised here, and no surprises are spoiled. What you can count on is a performance rooted in Georgian tradition, presented in St. Louis for one night. Bring a friend who loves discovering music, or someone who is simply curious. It makes a memorable plan and a great story afterward. If that sounds like your kind of evening, secure your spot for Trio Mandili at City Winery and make February 2 the night you hear something new.
