Voices of Silicon Valley is a new choral group specializing in combining vocal sound and video technology. We have two main artistic goals:
1) to find new ways of performing traditional choral music by
combining it with visual and multimedia technology so as to find connection with modern audiences
2) to introduce new works and commissions so as to give a voice to
contemporary composers especially in the Bay Area.
