W.M. KECK CHILDREN'S AMPHITHEATRE,
WALT DISNEY CONCERT HALL
Kitka
Using only pure unaccompanied voices, Kitka is an all women ensemble who produces songs using Eastern European vocal techniques that have been distilled over centuries. Performing Wintersongs, the repertoire is drawn from many lands with melodies, rhythms and harmonies to warm and cheer us through the darkest and coldest times of the year.
Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theatre
Vít Hořejš performs Winter Tales, a one-man show of Czech fairy tales with a cast of century-old marionettes. Replete with mountain wizards, clever village maidens, witches and spirits, Mr. Hořejš learned these stories from his Father and Grandmother in his hometown of Prague.
Performance takes place on Saturday, December 3, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. FREE tickets are distributed on Grand Avenue at 2nd Street. Tickets for 11:00 a.m. performance are distributed beginning at 10:00 a.m. Tickets for 12:30 p.m. performance are distributed beginning at 11:00 a.m.
Designed by Music Center Teaching Artists, workshops give children the opportunity to explore the featured culture through unique art-making projects such as calligraphy, puppets, musical instruments, accordion books, textile projects and more.
