Turns 25!

PLANINA – Songs of Eastern Europe announces our 25th Anniversary Reunion Celebration on Saturday, Oct. 26, at the Avalon Ballroom. We will present a choral concert and Balkan Bash with our guest musician friends and returning alumni, in addition to a light Mediterranean dinner catered by Donald Vukovic, The Baklava Guy.

Planina has come a long way from the tentative little ensemble that performed at the April 1988 Boulder Slavic Festival at the Boulder Elks Club. Some of us had met at a series of house sings and had agreed to work up a few tunes for the Slavic event. After the festival, we just kept rehearsing. Our next performance was at a First of Fall party for the Boulder community, followed by a big folk music and dance stage show produced by Alex Wilson that November. We were on our way! Soon we were performing for community centers and local festivals under the name Planina Balkan Women’s Choir. “Planina” means “mountain” in the southern Slavic languages.

Many members have come and gone since then; three of the original members remain. A new beat for STOMP! Although there have been some (wonderful) exceptions through the years, we are mostly not This is the last issue of the bi-monthly STOMP!. of Eastern European heritage; we just love the music.

An important part of Planina’s mission is to teach others about the background and cultural contexts of the songs and that we perform. Planina members have taught workshops at the Snow 1991 Mountain Ranch YMCA Camp, Metro State College, UCCS Women’s Week, and numerous area elementary schools. Planina has performed often at the annual Boulder International Festival, the Orthodox Food Festival in Denver, Summerfest, and A Taste of Colorado, to name a few. And we’ve done collaborations with area musicians and storyteller Susan Frontczak, and with groups like The Method, Cherry Creek Chorale, and Denver Gay Men’s Chorus.

Planina sings in a total of 30 languages and dialects. Members have studied Bulgarian, Croatian, Greek, Russian, and other languages to better understand the meanings of the songs.

Some members attend the annual EEFC Balkan Music & Dance Workshops to work with teachers from the U.S. and Eastern Europe. We occasionally bring in teachers to help us learn distinctive styles 1996 from various regions. We’ve taken two group trips to Bulgaria, in 1998 and 2005, to learn songs and study customs with villagers; individual members continue to travel abroad and gather new material.

Group members also study and play instruments, including accordion, balalaika, kankles (Lithuanian zither), recorders, tambura, and various folk drums. And 25 years of careful attention to collecting original and reproduction costume pieces provide another rich thread in our story as well as a colorful display for concert audiences.

Planina has produced three CDs, "Many Voices" (2000), "The Singing Tree" (2004), and “Telegram on the Wind” (2012). The group also compiled a cookbook of mainly Eastern European dishes, "May It Fill Your Bowl" (2007).

Planina would not be where it is today without the enthusiasm, encouragement, and support of its local and regional audiences over the 2009 years. We gratefully acknowledge the Village Arts Coalition as part of that support.

And then there’s our own pleasure in what we do. One long-term Planinan writes: “Being a member of this choir gives me a place of true belonging; the love of music, dance, celebration, and friendship is a bond around our hearts, helping us share the joys and sorrows of life across the years.”

As of this writing, 35 former members and instrumentalists are planning to participate in the reunion event on October 26 at the Avalon. Please join us! See Special Events page in this issue for details. We will do our absolute best to stir your soul and move your feet! – Mary Ann Saussotte & Julie Lancaster
