UCSB’s Multi-Cultural Center will present a free concert in Labyrinth: An Evening of Original Compositions and Traditional Music from Greece featuring Ross Daly and Kelly Thoma (from Crete), Kitka Women’s Vocal Ensemble, and Teslim on Friday, October 19th, 8 pm at the MCC Theater. A mesmerizing evening of vocal and instrumental music inspired by the modes and odes of Greece. Ethnic string instrument virtuosos Ross Daly, Kelly Thoma, Kaila Flexer, and Gari Hegedus draw inspiration from melodies and rhythms rooted in the musical traditions of the Mediterranean and Near East. Kitka has earned international acclaim for their fresh perspective on centuries-old harmony singing traditions of the Balkans. Kitka’s unique and emotive sonority is like a “bliss in a minor key,” The Oregonian.
