San Francisco Renaissance Voices is a professional, mixed voice, a cappella ensemble dedicated to performing and exploring the music of the Renaissance. The group debuted October 2004 with a sold-out performance of Victoria's Requiem. Each of our performances is semi-staged in an attempt to recreate and capture the vitality and meaning that this music brought to everyday life in the Renaissance.
