Each member was hand-selected by the Artistic Director for their musical prowess. Our approach is one of collaboration and oneness with minimal conducting and maximum communication through interpretation and body language. We pride ourselves on leaning on each other because without one another we are but one voice. Our group represents a new, fresh approach to masterful choral music.
