A new recording by Kitka, released just in time for holiday giving!

EVENING STAR is Kitka's much-anticipated sequel to WINTERSONGS, an album praised by NPR as "a refreshing spin on traditional seasonal choral music... thoroughly marvelous!"

EVENING STAR's 22-track playlist includes sacred and secular pieces inspired by cosmic wonders and earthly rituals of the winter season. This collection features meticulously researched and creatively arranged songs sung in Bulgarian, Russian, Romanian, Georgian, Yiddish, Latvian, Serbian, Ukrainian, Mingrelian, Svan, Laz, and Greek... interspersed with sonic surprises guaranteed to enchant the ear and stir the soul. 

The EVENING STAR physical CD package includes a 16-page booklet with comprehensive liner notes. 

This holiday season, give the gift of music and help contribute towards completion of this ambitious project. Your direct purchases directly support Kitka's mission to cultivate global community through song.

Visit http://www.kitka.org/shop to listen to a few teaser tracks, and to order your hot-off-the-press CDs for all the music lovers in your life.

The album is also available for digital pre-release at Bandcamp: https://kitka.bandcamp.com/album/evening-star
