Harmony and Dissonance: A Vocal Workshop and Community Sing with Kitka

Join Kitka for a celebratory circle of song! Participants will experience the magic of raising their voices together to create lush, close, Eastern European harmonies as they were originally intended to be sung - by many voices in community! Kitka singers will lead the group in some fun "open voice" warm-ups, and will teach a selection of tunes by ear from our favorite repertoire. The songs presented promise to be accessible, beautiful, and uplifting.

Singers of all ages, genders, backgrounds, and levels of experience are welcome!
Tuition: $25 suggested minimum donation. Pay it forward with a more generous contribution if you are able, otherwise pay what you can. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
