Kitka: Wintersongs (Dec. 8-21) — This popular musical celebration of the power of community singin, takes advantage of the position of Eastern Europe as a crossroads of religious and musical traditions. The women of Kitka have mastered repertory from all over and include everything from Sephardic songs to Eastern Orthodox sacred choral works; to Baltic pagan incantations for the return of the Sun Goddess, to Romany tunes and much more, some in arrangements by choir members.
