Kukuvitsa

I work as a conductor / teacher for Kukuvitsa ensemble which is a Helsinki-based Bulgarian choir established in 2010. The 12-member choir performs Bulgarian vocal music, but also traditional village songs from other Balkan countries and Balto-Finnic folklore regions. Kukuvitsa operates under Käpylä Music Institute.
