Singing City Presents Svitanya in Concert
Saturday, April 14, 2012, 7:30 p.m.
Chestnut Hill Presbyterian Church, 8855 Germantown Avenue
Philadelphia, PA 19118
Followed by a reception and dessert.
Enjoy a concert with Svitanya, a women's vocal ensemble whose lively performance of Eastern European folk music has captivated audiences across the northeast.
Svitanya's repertoire is drawn from the entire region of Eastern Europe. Some songs are modern arrangements of traditional folk tunes, some are original compositions in the folk tradition, and others are sung as they have been for generations. They range from strong and strident field-working songs to traditional dance tunes to lush and emotive arrangements, all evoking the timbres, rhythms, and harmonies indigenous to the region.
Tickets: $25 includes concert and dessert reception
In July 2012, Singing City will embark on a 10-day performance and outreach tour of Bosnia and Serbia. Proceeds from this event support tour scholarships.
