Centrala, Birmingham
This is a pretty special booking for Kikimora - we're teaming up with Centrala for a rare chance to welcome acclaimed Ukrainian composer & performer GANNA to Birmingham!
Expect Ukrainian folk songs reimagined through electronic textures, improvisation and contemporary songwriting. Her repertoire draws from research trips across Ukraine, where she collected songs and stories from elders in the Carpathians and villages near Kyiv and Poltava. On stage, those field-gathered fragments become something electric - tradition carried forward as wildly magnetic performances.
Tickets are Pay What You Can:
£10 (standard) / £13 (pay it forward) / £7 (low income)
You can choose which payment option suits you best – no catch, no questions.
WHATS ON
GANNA - live electronic performance
1A rare opportunity to see GANNA, the acclaimed Ukrainian singer-composer, live in the UK. Using loops, effects, samples and synth, GANNA builds vast, living soundscapes in real time, blending the raw authenticity of Ukrainian village singing with modern composition, improvisation and electronic texture.
The result is unearthly yet deeply human. Her repertoire draws from research trips across Ukraine, where she collected songs and stories from elders in the Carpathians and villages near Kyiv and Poltava. On stage, those field-gathered fragments become something electric - tradition carried forward as wildly magnetic performances.
"The levels of talent – even wizardry – musicological, composition & vocal, which run through her and in so many different ways are extraordinary"
