KITKA is an American women's vocal arts ensemble inspired by traditional songs and vocal techniques from Eastern Europe. Dedicated to developing new audiences for music rooted in Balkan, Slavic, and Caucasian women's vocal traditions. Kitka also strives to expand the boundaries of folk song as a living and evolving expressive art form.
The ethereal, haunting and beautiful songs of Kitka's Wintersongs return by popular demand. This winter holiday tradition showcases seasonal music from a wide variety of Eastern European ethnic and spiritual traditions. For countless centuries, people around the world have utilized the power of community singing to infuse warmth, cheer, spirituality, wishes for peace, health, and good fortune into the long, dark, cold and difficult winter season.
Kitka's program features songs ranging from rousing Slavic folk carols to lush meditative Eastern Orthodox sacred choral works to Baltic pagan incantations for the return of the Sun Goddess, to Caucasus Georgian hallelujahs to Yiddish, Sephardic, and Hebrew songs for Chanukah to Bosnian-Muslim devotional hymns to rhythmic Balkan Romany ("Gypsy") tunes for the winter festivals.
