Kitka, September 25 at 2 PM at UC Berkeley (Berkeley, CA)

"SANCTUARY: A CATHEDRAL CONCERT invites audiences to be immersed in uninterrupted flow of meditative and ecstatic songs from Eastern European spiritual traditions whose haunting melodies and rich harmonies soar in resonant space. This concert will invoke the rich and varied musical cultures of the Eastern Orthodox, Jewish, Islamic, and nature-centered traditions that coexist throughout the region. Kitka's program features traditional and contemporary Balkan, Slavic, and Caucasian (Georgian and Armenian) repertoire sung in more than twelve languages. Listeners will be transported by a continuous unfolding of songs expressing a dynamic range of emotion that flows seamlessly from ethereal, contemplative pieces to tunes that rouse with their earthy rhythms.
