Based at Senaki Municiplity Student, Youth and Culture Centre, Musikeli are highly experienced at leading workshops with singers of all ages and abilities. The ensemble teach and perform a wide repertoire, ranging from sacred chants to work songs, modern 'city' songs, and comic folk songs, but all with a particular emphasis on western Georgian styles.
