The 21V chorus, under director Martin Benvenuto, is performing an updated version of Reclaiming Radical, the program it presented this past April. Here are all of the details:
Sunday, November 3, 2024 at 1:30 p.m.
First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco
1187 Franklin St, San Francisco, CA 94109
Tickets: FREE; donation requested.
For more information, see the 21V web site.
This is a lovely church, though I can't recall whether I've ever heard a concert there. Congregation Sha'ar Zahav has used it for High Holy Days services in the past and might still be doing so. Please donate whatever you're able; all arts organizations have significant costs to pay.
21V has an unusual mix of singers: they're all singing in the soprano and alto ranges. And this concert brings in the Cantabile Youth Singers of Silicon Valley for part of the concert. More about the chorus:
21V is a professional ensemble of soprano & alto voices of all gender identities based in the SF Bay Area, founded in 2021 by Dr. Martín Benvenuto. 21V explores a broad identity of contemporary American music by focusing on 21st century music of the 3 Americas, and challenges existing boundaries & assumptions – both artistically & socially.
Seeking to effect change in the traditionally non-inclusive classical music industry, 21V embraces inclusivity as its core value. Freeing the concept of treble choir from gender and gender identity, our multi-racial and multi-identity ensemble includes cis and transgender women, and cis, nonbinary, and intersex countertenors.
