Event

Santa Cruz - Kitka and Trio Kavkasia in Concert: Traditional Georgian Polyphony
"... exotic, beautifully modulated style... haunting beauty... " The New York Times


Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble hosts the West Coast performances of Trio Kavkasia, an internationally acclaimed ensemble specializing in the ancient and strikingly beautiful traditional harmonies of Caucasus Georgia. Kitka and Trio Kavkasia's program will feature material ranging from gentle lullabies, lyrical love songs, and sublime sacred pieces to rowdy dance tunes and robust table and work songs.


ABOUT GEORGIAN FOLK MUSIC
The dense and powerful polyphonic vocal music of Georgia, a tiny but storied nation in the Caucasus Mountains, runs like a bolt of electricity through the listener who has only heard traditional Western choral music. A traditional Georgian song's three parts relate to each other like a Mobius strip, with unexpected chords, beating dissonances, and ringing unison tones that create richly ornamented textures that do not follow Western rules of tuning, harmony, or melody.

Kitka and Trio Kavkasia's performances will take place:
Thursday, February 17 at 8:00 p.m. at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 114 Montecito, Oakland;

Friday, February 18 at 8:00 (with a 7:30 PM pre-concert talk) at Live at Mission Blue, 475 Mission Blue Dr., Brisbane;

Saturday, February 19 at 8:00 p.m. at Holy Cross Church, 126 High St., Santa Cruz; and

Sunday, February 20 at 4 PM at Arts at St. Bede's Episcopal Church, 2650 Sand Hill Rd., Menlo Park.

Kitka will also host a community Georgian Folk Singing Workshop with Trio Kavkasia's Carl Linich on Sunday, February 13 from 4-7 PM at Silk Road House, 1944 University Ave., Berkeley, CA
