21V, the innovative Bay Area chorus of adult treble (soprano and alto) voices of any gender, is looking for a new artistic director, because founding artistic director and conductor Martin Benvenuto is moving back to his native Argentina. Here's the beginning of the job announcement:
About 21V
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, 21V is an innovative select ensemble of soprano and alto voices of all gender identities dedicated to telling the stories of the 21st-century Americas. Founded by Dr. Martín Benvenuto, 21V is a catalyst for change through a new choral sound, committing to bold, contemporary repertoire and reimagining traditional performance models. Our work intentionally centers composers and voices from across the Americas, with a particular focus on those historically underrepresented in classical music.
21V’s vision is to be a "house of ideas" that opens up unexplored spaces of artistic expression, and a "house of belonging" that expands interconnectedness. For more information, please visit www.21vchoir.org
The Artistic Director serves as the chief artistic leader of 21V, responsible for shaping and advancing the ensemble’s vision, programming, and broader cultural impact. This position reports directly to the Board of Directors. The role is part-time and project-based, with 21V generally presenting two artistic projects each year – one in the fall and one in the spring. Each project typically includes approximately five weeks of rehearsals and generally culminates in two performances. The schedule varies seasonally, with a greater time commitment during active rehearsal and performance cycles, including evenings and weekends. The Artistic Director works in person for rehearsals, performances, and select meetings in the Bay Area, while completing remaining administrative work and meetings remotely.
