Balkan choir comes to Guerneveille

            The Vocal ensemble Kitka has been called America’s most successful and renowned Balkan choir.  They will perform in Guerneveille on Friday, Dec. 3 at 8 p.m. at Wild Jane’s, 16440 Fourth Street.  Tickets are $12.

            Kitka is a women’s vocal ensemble unlike any other.  These eight sophisticated singers blend a contemporary sensibility with specialized vocal techniques from Eastern Europe that have been distilled over centuries.

            They are on a nine-city tour along with their latest CD and companion songbook called “Wintersongs,” featuring repertoire ranging from Bulgaria to Belarus, from Georgia to Greece.
