IRS990/Desc0COMMUNITY CHORUSES & VOCAL WORKSHOPS In FY 15-16 Kitka expanded our Community Chorus programs to include two open ensembles (Zele, directed by Janet Kutulas and the Beloved Balkan Songs Ensemble, directed by Shira Cion and Rumen Sali Shopov) and one auditioned ensemble (the Advanced Vocal Skills Lab, directed by Caitlin Tabancay Austin). In addition Kitka hosted a variety of public workshops and advanced artistic development masterclasses with guest ethnic folksong masters from Bulgaria (Tzvetanka and Ivan Varimezov), Ukraine (Yara Arts Group Koliadky, DakhaBrakha and Mariana Sadovska) Macedonia (Esma Redzepova and Folk Masters), and Russia (Kostroma Vocal Ensemble from Russian House Kedry). Kitka vocalists Corinne Sykes, Janet Kutulas, and Elizabeth Setzer also offered a series of individual workshops on Balkan Vocal Techniques and Choral Repertoire. Kitka also partnered with the Croatian American Cultural Center to co-promote a Croatian Klapa singing workshop led by Seattle-based vocalist and multi-instrumentalist John Morovich. #Served: 653
