With support of the CAC, Kitka will foster appreciation for, and public participation in, music rooted in Eastern European and Eurasian women’s vocal traditions. New music and multidisciplinary works that expand the boundaries of folk song as living art form will also be created and presented during the funding period.
Kitka’s core organizational programs and services include a San Francisco Bay Area-based series of concerts, workshops, artist residencies, leadership of community choirs and community sings; in-school programs; regional, national, and international touring; recording, publication, and broadcast projects; commissioning; and adventuresome multicultural and multidisciplinary collaborations with some of the worlds most compelling traditional artists and contemporary performance makers.
