Event overview
Sounds from rural Russia, Belorussia and Ukraine.
A celebration of the most magical and flourishing time of the year, filled with songs, games and village traditions. You will hear beautiful improvised polyphonies from Russia: ritual midsummer calls, merry dance songs, flowing lyrical songs and much more. Pentecost – a major Orthodox church holiday – is represented in the folk calendar by a stunning variety of traditions and rituals related to the transition from spring to summer, when nature is at its peak, in bloom, in growth, full of life and bird song. Beautiful traditional costumes collected and made by ethnic traditions expert Zinaida Petruchenia, represent various regions of Russia and Ukraine.
Izba Voices is led by an established performer, singing teacher and ethnomusicologist Polina Proutskova, who recently completed an PhD in MIR at Goldsmiths, University of London. Much of the unique music performed by Izba was recorded by Polina in rural Russia during her field expeditions.
