“Singing illuminates you. It makes you a better person.It elates you and leads you to success in human relationships. Singing is faith and hope. Singing is the greatest form of sustenance. Singing has such a versatile nature… it holds an invincible power that it passes on to others as it flows through us. Let’s drink to singing! Cheers! Victory to singing!”
-A supra toast to singing by Andro Simashvili, Kakhetian songmaster (1923-2019)
For more than two decades, Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble's annual Wintersongs concerts have explored songs from across Eastern Europe that summon the return of light and hope in times of difficulty and darkness.
Kitka's 2024 Wintersongs offering follows the arc of the supra, a traditional Caucasus Georgian ritual feast in which all present are encouraged to contemplate the things in life that uplift and connect us.
