St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, 3 Bayview Ave., Beledere, CA 9492

Kitka's 2026 Wintersongs concert program is a tribute to the power of music to bring comfort and joy during the darkest days of the year. Showcasing seasonal music from a wide variety of Eastern European ethnic and spiritual traditions, the repertoire ranges from rousing Slavic folk carols to lush meditative Eastern Orthodox sacred choral works; from Baltic pagan incantations for the return of the Sun Goddess to Caucasus Georgian alilos (hallelujahs); from Yiddish songs to secular Sufi odes; and much more.Inspired by traditional songs and vocal techniques from Eastern Europe and Eurasia, Kitka has earned international recognition for its distinctive sound, exploring a vast palette of ancient yet contemporary sounding vocal effects. Kitka's commitment to presenting traditional song as a living and evolving expressive art form has led to adventurous collaborations with some of the world's most exciting indigenous musicians and contemporary composers ranging from Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares to Meredith Monk.&nbsp;Currently celebrating its 46th season, Kitka began as a grassroots group of amateur singers from diverse ethnic and musical backgrounds who shared a passion for the stunning dissonances, asymmetric rhythms, intricate ornamentation, and resonant strength of traditional Eastern European women's vocal music. Since its informal beginnings, the group has evolved into an award-winning touring ensemble known for its artistry, versatility and mastery of the demanding techniques of regional vocal styling, as well as for its innovative explorations in new music for women's voices. The ensemble's wide-ranging performance, teaching and recording activities have exposed millions to the haunting beauty of their unique repertoire.$30-$55.Presented by KITKA Women's Vocal Ensemble

Right Time Financial specializes in four areas where the right guidance makes the biggest difference — helping you move money smarter, grow it tax-efficiently, protect what you've built, and claim every dollar you've earned. Retirement Solutions Right Time Financial offers solutions built to outlast your retirement People are living longer than ever. Your money needs to keep up. We offer focused, practical strategies that protect your savings and keep income flowing — for as long as you need it. Protection that works for you while you're still living Most people think life insurance only pays out when you die. Living benefits change that. With the right policy, you can access a portion of your death benefit while you're still alive — if you're diagnosed with a critical, chronic, or terminal illness. It's a financial safety net that protects your family and your retirement savings when life takes an unexpected turn. Know exactly what you have — and what you're missing Most people have insurance policies they haven't looked at in years. A policy review gives you a clear picture of your current coverage — life insurance, annuities, and retirement accounts — so you can identify gaps, eliminate overlap, and make sure every dollar is working as hard as it should. It's one of the simplest steps you can take to protect your financial future. Do You Have a Plan B? Financial services is one of the greatest business opportunities available right now — and especially for women. The Great Wealth Transfer is already underway as Baby Boomers retire and receive inheritance from their parents.
