To impart a sense of peace and hope to our concert audiences through a faithful rendering of the music of the Renaissance era. To uplift, give solace, create a time and space for contemplation, connect with people of varied communities, and establish a conduit for spiritual awareness.

Description:
This is a professional choral ensemble, which occasionally also uses period instruments, dancers, and readers (orators). Generally, we use about a dozen singers at any concert. We have three concert sets, with three concerts per set, each year -- generally speaking. We are seeking board members, grant writers, and a lawyer.

History:
We just became a 501c3, although we've been in business for three seasons now. Before this, we were under the auspices of the San Francisco Early Music Society. We have a small board, which we are seeking to expand.
