It's so nice to do some work again, especially when it's volunteer work. I got the pleasure of photographing a concert, Huun Huur Tu, for CityMusic, an organization which is best described by this blurb from their website, citymusiccolumbus.com : "For over a quarter century, CityMusic has worked to expand the musical horizons of central Ohio residents by presenting the best in chamber and world music and by providing musical outreach to inner-city youth." I have been searching for something locally that helps people that I might help with my photography. This show was at the beautifully renovated Lincoln Theater. 
Huun Huur Tu is a group that has been around since 1991 and they hail from Tuva, a Russian republic that sits on the Mongolian border. They practice Tuvan throat singing, nothing I have ever heard before. It is impossible to describe, you just need to hear it for yourselves. It was mesmerizing and as I told my husband, some of the songs sounded like they would be in a Chinese Western, if such a thing exists. I highly recommend checking them out. Their website is hhtmusic.com .
CityMusic puts on several concerts a year so please help out by taking a look at their site and attending a show or two.
