Kitka presents A Georgian Folk Singing Workshop with Carl Linich

October 22, 2016 at 2:30 pm – 5:30 pm

Igor Stravinsky was fascinated by it. Kate Bush and Billy Joel fell for it. The Coen brothers used it in The Big Lebowski. What's it all about? The greatest traditional polyphonic music on the planet! Come learn folk songs from the Republic of Georgia (yes, the one that Russia was bombing in 2008) with Carl Linich. Songs will be taught orally, using word sheets. All you need are open ears & hearts, and the willingness to give it a try. The atmosphere is very relaxed, and all levels of musicianship are welcome.
