Kitka returns from their first tour to the Caucasus to present a concert showcasing traditional melodies and harmonies from Armenia and Georgia. Joining Kitka will be Armenia's most beloved folk singer Hasmik Harutyunyan. Kitka and Hasmik Harutyunyan's program will feature material ranging from gentle lullabies, lyrical love songs, and sublime sacred pieces to rowdy dance tunes and robust work songs.
Georgia is the home to one of the world's most ancient and fascinating polyphonic (harmony) singing traditions. In contrast, Armenian folk music is largely modal and monophonic, akin to the musical traditions of Armenia's Middle Eastern neighbors.
