Nevenka, True Life Trio and Varimezovi Together in Concert this June
Nevenka is delighted to announce a joint concert on Saturday, June 9 with the Bay Area group True Life Trio. The evening will include guest appearances by Tzvetanka and Ivan Varimezovi.
True Life Trio performs riveting vocal harmonies from Eastern Europe, the Americas, and beyond. This innovative trio explores the creative possibilities of cross-fertilization of different traditions with unlikely timbres connecting Bulgaria to the Bayou. TLT's improvisation-laced repertoire includes original songs and folk tunes from far-flung lands such as Albania, Bulgaria, Georgia, Greece, Macedonia, Italy, Poland, Ukraine and the American South.
Featuring the powerful vocal talents of three dynamic performers whose musical collaboration was forged in Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble, this Bay Area based trio delves deep into a vast array of folk music that lends itself to three-part vocal harmony, massaging and expanding the boundaries of these traditional styles. The result is a sweet, sonic explosion that melts in the listener's ear and that is uniquely True Life Trio.
Tzvetanka Varimezova has been a teacher and mentor for both Nevenka and The True Life Trio. Ivan Varimzov is one of the most acclaimed gaida musicians in Bulgaria. The couple were both vocal/music directors and soloists for the Parardzhik, Thracian, Philip Koutev, and Radio Sophia Ensembles in Bulgaria. This year Tzvetanka received the award for Best Singer in Bulgaria.
