Volti

Volti is a 20-person professional vocal ensemble based in San Francisco. The group was founded by Robert Geary in 1979 as the San Francisco Chamber Singers. Beginning with an all-Bach program, the group quickly moved on to the more contemporary works that have shaped its mission ever since: "to foster and showcase contemporary American music and composers, and to introduce contemporary vocal music from around the world to local audiences." When the group turned 25 in 2003-2004, it changed its name to Volti - a reference to the Italian musical instruction "volti subito" meaning "turn quickly."
