Members of Mila Vocal Ensemble will provide an overview of Eastern European singing and teach one song from the Republic of Georgia, and one song from Bulgaria. We'll close the workshop by teaching a simple Ukrainian celebration song. Light snacks and beverages will be provided during a short break in the program.

With breathtaking harmonies, Mila Vocal Ensemble nourishes the human spirit through songs collected from the folk traditions of Eastern Europe and Russia. This concert will highlight music from Mila’s two most recent study trips, including ancient hymns from the Republic of Georgia and songs about nature’s beauty from Bulgaria. Mila, an all women’s ensemble, is based in the Twin Cities and delighted to bring these works and more to a Duluth audience.

Admission is free; a collection plate will be available for those who wish to support Mila’s work.
