Join Beacon Hill Concerts on Saturday, March 23, 2024 at 6:00pm for KITKA’s “Songs of Sustenance”.
KITKA, a female vocal ensemble, will perform traditional songs from the Balkans, Caucasus, and Slavic lands, as well as new material composed for the group drawing on those traditional vocal practices.
From its founding four decades ago, the California-based group has evolved into an award-winning professional touring ensemble known for its artistry, versatility, and mastery of the demanding techniques of regional vocal styling, as well as for its innovative explorations in new music for female voices.
The ensemble has produced 14 critically acclaimed recordings on the group’s independent Diaphonica label (most recently, Evening Star).
“KITKA’s songs are hauntingly beautiful, simple, yet otherworldly. The rich sound these women produce resonates as if energized by the universe itself, as if it were calling all live beings and still matter into togetherness and unity.”
— Ching Chang, San Francisco Chronicle
