Divi Zheni
Divi Zheni performs folk music from Bulgaria’s many different regions, ranging from village style to choral arrangements. The concert will feature unusual songs of love and longing and of war and peace. Some of the numbers are silly and others are stately, but all are pleasing to the ear.The chorus is made up of Boston-area women and is conducted by Tatiana Sarbinska, a world-renowned Balkan vocalist, teacher, and former soloist with the internationally acclaimed Pirin Ensemble, who is the only Bulgarian in the group.In Bulgaria, these songs are often carried through mountains and villages in the harmonies of women’s and girls’ voices, which, once heard, are difficult to forget, and which have gained an international following. Divi Zheni, a women’s Bulgarian folk ensemble, has been dedicated for 10 years to bringing these sounds to area audiences.
