About this Event

Traditional Balkan, Baltic, and Slavic village folk music for dance in an open acoustic rehearsal. Easy songs for curious musicians. Easy listening for thirsty conversationalists.

Vol 23: KRYVA KOSA returns with an open folk session, sharing village songs and dances through participation, improvisation, and musical exchange.

This is part of INSTITUT's UKRAINIAN HERITAGE MONTH volume - music, film, art and story, all Ukrainian for this showcase month. Underground at 620 Spadina Ave - around the back, through the lot to the steel doors, down the stairs, past the mechanical room, through the swinging wood laminate door...

KRYVA KOSA starts at 5PM and is PWYC. At 7PM, SERHII TITOV and KIRILL SAVRANSKY take over the room for a ticketed candlelight night of poetry and piano. RSVP for the residency so we know who to expect.

KRYVA KOSA is a collective of musicians and artists sharing folk traditions from their diverse backgrounds through live music, dance and open musical exchange.

"Kryva Kosa" means "crooked scythe" in Ukrainian. Their repertoire moves through village folk traditions from Ukraine and neighbouring Slavic, Baltic, Balkan and Finno-Ugric cultures of Europe.

They have performed and taught at the Bloor West Village Ukrainian Festival, Drom Taberna and Kosa Folk Arts Melanka, and recently completed a four-month residency at Hart House UofT.
