The group Chirgilchin is from Tuva, a small federal subject of Russia that is home to the world’s best throat singers.

A performance is scheduled for Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. in the Erie Art Museum Annex. Tickets are $15 for general admission, $12 for Erie Art Museum and Jazz Erie members and $10 for students and seniors.
