'... exotic, beautifully modulated style... haunting beauty... ' The New York Times
Kitka returns from their first tour to the Caucasus to present a collaborative concert with Trio Kavkasia, an internationally acclaimed ensemble specializing in the strikingly beautiful traditional harmonies of Caucasus Georgia. Kitka and Trio Kavkasia's program will feature material ranging from gentle lullabies, lyrical love songs, and sublime sacred pieces to rowdy dance tunes and robust table and work songs. A Georgian song's parts relate to each other like a Mobius strip, with unexpected chords that create richly ornamented textures that do not follow Western rules of tuning and harmony.
