From our Director, Jen

I first discovered Balkan music as a student at the University of Oregon. I’d been classically trained before that, and was fascinated by this whole other world of modes and rhythms. Back in LA, I found an international folk dance class taught by AMAN alum Sandy Allman… who was also a Nevenka singer! She brought me to a rehearsal one night, and that was it.

So glad to have found such a wonderful community of women who share my love of this music. 🧡

Nevenka costumes through the ages. Some certainly more flattering than others! Which era is your favorite?

As a group performing songs from many different cultures and places, we strive to evoke the spirit of the diverse songs we sing but not represent any one tradition.

Don't forget to get your tickets to the 50th anniversary show! See link in bio
