Vol 23 FRIDAY EDITION: KRYVA KOSA returns with an open folk session, sharing village songs and dances through participation, improvisation, and musical exchange. This is part of INSTITUT's UKRAINIAN HERITAGE MONTH volume - music, film, art and story, all Ukrainian for this showcase month. Underground at 620 Spadina Ave - around the back, through the lot to the steel doors, down the stairs, past the mechanical room, through the swinging wood laminate door... KRYVA KOSA starts at 7PM and is PWYC. At 9PM, SERHII TITOV and KIRILL SAVRANSKY take over the room for a ticketed candlelight night of poetry and piano. RSVP for the residency so we know who to expect. *** 7:00 PM | RESIDENCY | KRYVA KOSA | RSVP / PWYC 9:00 PM | POETRY + MUSIC | SERHII TITOV x KIRILL SAVRANSKY | TICKETED **** KRYVA KOSA is a collective of musicians and artists sharing folk traditions from their diverse backgrounds through live music, dance and open musical exchange.
