Polyphonia Youth Choir
Julie Graffagna (also formerly of Kitka) and I have started a youth choir (ages 11-19) in January of 2009. We are focusing on traditional polyphony from different parts of the world, including Georgia, Bulgaria, Corsica, Albania, France and China. Rehearsals are held Thursday afternoons in Oakland. If you know of young people who would be interested in joining in the fall of 2009 please contact one of us.
Epirotika
Some friends and I have started a small ensemble focusing on the amazingly beautiful and ancient pentatonic polyphony of Epirus (North-Western Greece) and Southern Albania. More later!
