Beautiful as the Full Moon Planina in Concert: An Evening of Songs from Eastern Europe and the Caucasus
June 3, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
$25Join us on this full moon night for a rich selection of music from the Balkans, Ukraine, Russia, and Georgia. This concert is a fundraiser for Planina’s summer 2023 group study trip to Georgia, situated at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
We will bring you a feast for the ears that will be likewise beautiful and inspiring. The program will feature a few Georgian songs, giving a taste for why we want to travel there to learn more! In addition to the wedding song, you will also hear a protective and healing invocation, a dance song that may have roots in ancient sun ritual traditions, and a medieval Georgian hymn.
In addition, we will sing Planina’s usual mix of tunes from many Eastern European countries. Songs range from quiet ballads to full-bodied, a cappella choral and dance tunes accompanied by traditional and/or modern instruments.
