The Gyuto monks of Tibet are known for their strange but compelling way of singing. “The Tibetans’ approach to voice production,” wrote the New York Times’s Allan Kozinn, “is very different from that of most other cultures. It involves . . . pushing the voice hard at the very bottom of the range, and oscillating it to give the impression that a chord, rather than a single note, is being sung.” The monks’ second series of shows in the U.S. comes to Chicago tonight; money from the tour and from sales of a new album on Rykodisc will go toward a new temple for the monks in Nepal; their old one got run over by the Chinese way back when. The show tonight is part of a series of new-music presentations by Jam Productions and the Goodman Theatre; it’s at the Vic, 3145 N. Sheffield, at 8. Tickets are $22.50. Call 443-4940 or 559-1212.
