Dear EEFC Community,

Kitka is seeking a new songbird to add to our core professional ensemble in 2026!

We are specifically seeking vocalists who are adept at singing in both open/chest voice and “pure” (light vibrato) head voice styles. Familiarity with Eastern European folk singing and languages, and music-reading ability is preferred. A compelling, colorful voice, engaging stage presence, accurate intonation, rhythmic capability, previous performance experience, vocal versatility, quick learning and strong ensemble singing and teamwork skills are essential.

Learn more about Kitka membership and our audition process at kitka.org/auditions.

Preliminary materials submission deadline:
Sunday, December 21, 2025 at 11:59 PM PST

Finalists will be invited for a live audition in the San Francisco Bay Area in mid/late January 2026.

Please help us to spread the word to the extraordinary singers in your circles!
