Under the co-direction of Shira Cion, Janet Kutulas and Juliana Graffagna since 1997,[1][better source needed] Kitka has been recognized by the National Endowment for the Arts, Chorus America,[3] and the American Choral Directors Association.[1][better source needed] The group takes its name from the word for "bouquet" in Bulgarian and Macedonian.[1]
