KITKA Presents 'Wintersongs,' A Unique & Beautiful Vocal Celebration of the Winter Season
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (PRWEB) November 01, 2018 -- The ethereal, haunting and beautiful songs of Kitka’s music has become a traditional and favorite concert for families throughout the Bay Area. This winter, Kitka celebrates the release of their much anticipated new CD, "Evening Star," sequel to "Wintersongs," an album praised by NPR as "a refreshing spin on traditional seasonal choral music… thoroughly marvelous."
The exquisite and unusual seasonal music draws from a wide variety of Eastern European ethnic and spiritual traditions offers a wildly popular and unique celebration for the winter season.
This winter holiday program includes sacred and secular pieces inspired by cosmic wonders and earthly rituals of the winter season. The music of Evening Star includes meticulously researched and creatively arranged songs sung in Bulgarian, Russian, Romanian, Georgian, Yiddish, Latvian, Serbian, Ukrainian, Mingrelian, Svan, Laz, and Greek interspersed with sonic surprises guaranteed to enchant the ear and stir the soul.
Kitka’s program has captured, celebrates and shares the power of community singing that would infuse warmth, cheer, spirituality, and wishes for peace, health, and good fortune into the long, dark, cold and difficult winter season across the Eastern European borders.
Join The Kanbar Center For The Performing Arts as they warm up the winter and celebrate the season through beautiful vocal harmonies.
