Robert Geary


In this concert, Volti's singers grapple with elemental forces as they tackle Rob Paterson's The Essence of Gravity and then join forces with The Piedmont Children's Choirs to give the premiere of Elliott Gyger's Dancing in the Wind. Kurt Rhode's gentle suite Endless and Ccollanan Maria by Gabriela Lena Frank round out the program.

“[Volti] may well be the finest collection of chamber singers in the country… I have yet to encounter its equal. They’re miraculous, a treasure of the local scene.” -- Heuwell Tircuit, SFCV
