Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble
At 2:30pm, Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble will present a program they call "Summer Solstice". For nearly four decades the nine-women Oakland ensemble has developed a vast, breathtaking repertoire of exquisitely harmonized folk songs from Balkan, Baltic, Caucasus, and Slavic lands, as well as new material composed for the group drawing on those traditional vocal practices. Traveling to rural communities in Armenia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Georgia, Poland, Macedonia and Turkey they’ve gathered songs and communed with elders who are often the last links to centuries-old traditions. The ravishing textures of the women’s voices, and unearthly cadences make Kitka’s performances an enthralling experience.
