Ukrainian-Dutch musical and vocal
ensemble from Kiev and Delft

The ensemble "Kwitka" is a group of enthusiastic musical friends who engage themselves with the performance of Russian and Ukrainian music, both instrumental and vocal.
"Kwitka" is the Ukrainian word for flower. A flower that symbolizes the natural beauty and colours of the music.

The repertoire shows a wide variety of:

• Classical music for the piano and being accompanied by the balalaika.
• Music of the famous Russian, and European composers, and especially composed duo pieces for piano and balalaika.
• Old romances sung by soprano.
• Folksongs, melancholic but also very cheery, and funny songs from the countryside.
• Since 2007 Kwitka also performes classical concerts.

The ensemble "Kwitka" is able to catch you in a professional way from the beginning until the end. For a broad audience it is a pleasure to listen to this group. The group is dressed in original folk costumes which makes the performance very colourful, and attractive. The presentation of the program in Dutch and the audience is brought into the atmosphere and character of the songs. {akreserv, CD-reservation}
