The women in Kitka are fearless sonic explorers, and you can hear their intrepid spirit in every haunting song. For four decades, the nine-woman Oakland ensemble has developed a vast, breathtaking repertoire of traditional songs from the Balkans, Caucasus and Slavic lands, as well as new material composed for the group drawing on those traditional vocal practices. Traveling to rural communities in Armenia and Bulgaria, Ukraine and Georgia, Serbia and Turkey, they’ve gathered songs and communed with elders who are often the last links to centuries-old traditions. The ravishing textures of the women’s voices, unearthly cadences, angular rhythms and unfamiliar languages make Kitka’s performances an enthralling experience. The VENUS showcase will be presenting a special KITKA quartet ensemble.

Tess Posner:
Cinematic pop artist Tess Posner showcases a deep and evocative exploration of the human experience, blending her unique artistic voice with a commitment to healing and transformation. She weaves together ethereal synths, dynamic orchestral elements together with her lush vocal harmonies that lay over a bed of deep-sounding drums and bass.
