| Songs for Ukraine: Mariana Sardovska & Kitka (Just Added!) | Friday, May 20 | 7:30 PM
In Person: $15 | Livestream: $5 | | |
| | | KQED Live is thrilled to announce this special addition to our Spring calendar. European critics call Lviv-born vocalist, composer and actress Mariana Sadovska "Ukraine's Bjork." The New York Times compares her vocal power and expressive range to rock star P. J. Harvey. Renowned for merging Ukrainian folk song with contemporary sounds and social activism, Sadovska has been tirelessly offering her evocative voice to raise international awareness of, and aid for, the embattled people of her homeland since Russia’s invasion in February.
KQED Live presents this rare San Francisco appearance and dialogue with Sadovska, who will be joined in solidarity by longtime collaborators from Oakland's beloved women's vocal ensemble Kitka to perform a set of haunting Ukrainian polyphonic folk songs expressing the fragility, fierceness, and resilience of the Ukrainian spirit. | | |
