Kitka - Summer Solstice Concert
Friday, June 13 at 7PM
Dance Palace Main Hall
Presale ticktets 

An evening of Balkan, Baltic, Slavic, and Caucasan songs for the Summer Solstice. The women in Kitka are fearless sonic explorers, and you can hear their intrepid spirit in every haunting song. For over four decades, the ten-woman ensemble has developed a vast, breathtaking repertoire of traditional songs from Balkan, Baltic, Caucasus, and Slavic lands, as well as new material composed for the group drawing on those ancient vocal practices. Traveling to rural communities throughout Eastern Europe and the Caucasus, 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, unearthly cadences, angular rhythms, and unfamiliar languages make Kitka’s performances an enthralling experience.
