Discover our Program

Our music brings together the sounds and traditions of Mongolia through throat singing, traditional folk songs and instruments such as the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle), Altai Harp, tovshuur (lute) and more! Rowan Hartsuiker has practised Mongolian throat singing (khoomii) since 2005. Together with his wife Saran, who grew up in Mongolia, he shares this rich musical heritage through performances blending traditional songs, evocative melodies and the unique sounds of Mongolian instruments. Available for bookings as a duo or with Rowan as a solo artist, we bring the beauty, depth and strength of Mongolian music to festivals, theatres, cultural events, private gatherings and intimate living-room concerts.
