Volti’s core program is presenting concerts and creating recordings of leading-edge unaccompanied music for vocal ensemble. In addition, Volti enjoys frequent collaborations and partnerships with groups including Kronos Quartet, Del Sol Quartet, ODC/Dance, Left Coast Chamber Ensemble, San Francisco Chamber Orchestra, San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, Festival Napa Valley, and Cal Performances. Another core service is educating young singers through the Choral Institute, centered on an annual retreat gathering several high school choirs for an intensive weekend of music-making. Volti singers serve as faculty and offer coaching and voice lessons to the student singers. The Choral Institute often includes working with a composer in residence on a piece commissioned for the occasion. We offer discounted participation in the Choral Institute to the Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts, serving students from low-income and marginalized communities.
