Critical Acclaim
“Your singing on “Here and Now” sounded beautiful and perfectly coordinated; it was hard to believe that each of you was alone in a room recording your own part without hearing everyone else.” — David Newman, audience member, February 2020
“This is a top-notch group.”—Kirke Mechem, composer
“While the sheer range of material was impressive, what was remarkable was the 18-voice ensemble’s skill in capturing each work’s individual charms. Voci’s tonal beauty and well-integrated vocal blend served the music handsomely, from century to century.” —Georgia Rowe, Contra Costa Times Correspondent, 2/7/01
“The evening opens with Navari leading the chorus in eight lovely, mostly a cappella renditions of choral works either written or arranged by women. The voices intertwine with and complement each other beautifully in intricate patterns…Musically, it’s a pleasure just to immerse oneself in the vocal mastery of Voci.” —Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle Theater Critic, 6/3/2006
“Accompanied only by a piano, the voices blended almost seamlessly together, creating harmonies that seemed to carry the audience far away.” —Harriett Chiang, San Francisco Chronicle
“One of the best choral groups around.”—Sarah Cahill, East Bay Express
