HIRE VOLTI FOR YOUR NEXT PROJECT

Volti’s roster of professional musicians is available for hire, whether you need a small vocal ensemble or the full power of the 40-voice Volti Chorale. We collaborate on new music projects, recordings, score readings, live performances, and more. Let's bring your vision to life.

Volti, founded in 1979, is dedicated to new vocal music composed by a highly diverse group of mostly American composers. Each season includes multiple newly commissioned works.

Hailed by San Francisco Classical Voice as “undoubtedly the finest collection of new music singers we have,” Volti boasts a 46-year track record that has garnered it a local and national reputation as one of the leaders in the creation and performance of new vocal music. 

Volti seeks composers and collaborators who explore timely issues of the human experience and who reach beyond the traditions of classical choral music. Recent collaborators include Kronos Quartet, Del Sol Quartet, Left Coast Chamber Ensemble, ODC/Dance, SF Chamber Orchestra, Festival Napa Valley, Bard Music West, and Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Philharmonia Orchestra, London.

VOLTI

SINGING WITHOUT A NET

SINCE 1979

Volti is an instrument –

bridging ethnicities, cultures, and generations in our community and beyond.

As a dynamic vehicle for the musical expression of artistic and personal perspectives,
we give voice to each person’s unique contribution, and to the breadth of human experience,

through the power of voices combined.

We invite you – composers, listeners, singers – to join us
in the discovery of what it means to be a citizen of this world, at this critical moment in time.
