#2101: Program #2101

New Sounds | May 24, 2010

Kitka, the all-women's vocal ensemble has made their reputation crossing continents, languages and styles for 23 years straight. The group has a particular affinity for Eastern European vocal techniques, as demonstrated on their recent CD, The Vine, which features nineteen Balkan and Slavic folksongs. A variety of selections from this disc will be featured on this edition of New Sounds, recorded in November 2002 at the World Financial Center’s Winter Garden. The performance, which marked the ensemble's New York debut, encompassed everything from traditional village chants to contemporary choral pieces.
