A refreshing spin on traditional seasonal choral music…thoroughly marvelous!- NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO
For 25 years, Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble's annual Wintersongs concerts have explored songs from across Eastern Europe that summon the return of light and hope in times of difficulty and darkness.
This year’s concerts will feature many of the songs on the ensemble’s long awaited new album, Kolo.
Kolo – a root word resonant across Balkan, Baltic and Slavic cultures – means circle, wheel and a spiraling communal line dance. It is the cosmic cycle of creation, growth, destruction and renewal; the eternal turning of seasons; and the shared rhythms of lives woven together. For Kitka, the kolo also represents our ever-evolving circle of voices, a close-knit co-creative community of women bound by breath and friendship. This lovingly curated cycle of traditional and newly imagined songs from Bulgaria, Corsica, Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Serbia, Turkey, and Ukraine.invites listeners into Kitka’s kolo, a place where giving voice and deep listening revolve in a timeless dance of dissonance and harmony.
