MUSIC

 DIVI ZHENI ("Wild Women"), a women's Bulgarian chorus and band, performs concert and dance music, ranging from traditional village style to choral arrangements.  ZORNITSA ("Morning Star") is reported to be America's first performing group of men who sing traditional and urban Bulgarian songs---mainly from southwestern Bulgaria and Macedonia.  None of the performers come from Bulgaria, except for Artistic Director Tatiana Sarbinska, Bulgarian folk singer and teacher extraordinaire.  Both groups have performed at festivals, concerts, and dances in the Boston area, Connecticut, and New York. Members of Divi Zheni and Zornitsa also gave several concerts while touring Bulgaria in 2005 and 2010, to great acclaim.
