15th Annual Kalamazoo Russian Festival
Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI

For years, Golosa has been proud to be a regular participant in this joyful festival that celebrates the sister-city relationship of Kalamazoo, Michigan, to Pushkin, Russia. Last year, we collaborated on a gala evening performance with the Michigan Festival of Sacred Music and guest performers Russian Fields, a folk trio from St. Petersburg. This year may bring more visitors, and we'll have our new CD for sale in Kalamazoo for the first time.

Golosa Northeastern Tour
Individual performances TBA

Golosa is hitting the road! Next spring will take us to the music venues and universities that are so richly concentrated throughout the New England states. We're excited to share all that we have learned over the past 13 years and to bring the music of the Semeiskie Old Believers to new audiences around the country—we're sure this tour will be the first of many.

Folksong in the Soviet Era: Identity, Art, and Union
Concert and multimedia presentation
Venue and time TBA

We are thrilled to be featured participants in the citywide Soviet Arts Experience festival, a celebration spearheaded by organizations such as the University of Chicago Presents, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and the Lyric Opera of Chicago.

Our concert and multimedia presentation will describe cultural exchange between the Americas, Europe, and Siberia in three eras, focusing on the use of sound in heralding regional identity within the context of larger unions. It will also explore folksongs and lore known by Russians and former Soviet citizens of all traditions and origins which were maps to navigating through and past the Soviet world.

You can explore other offerings from the year-long festival at the Soviet Arts Experience website.
