Where voices rise, horizons expand, and change takes flight.
Welcome to a dynamic and inclusive approach to vocal artistry. We're a revolution of soprano and alto voices, all genders united, weaving a tapestry of 21st-century music from the heart of the Americas.
Reimagine the word radical at its roots: fundamental, foundational, indispensable.

Hear the stories of heroes: We celebrate the legacies of César Chavez and Dolores Huerta, champions for social justice, in a brand new work by Chris Castro.

Experience radical truth-telling: Trevor Weston's Truth Tones honoring Dr. Martin Luther King weaves a tapestry of honesty and hope for treble voices and cello.

Feel the power of words: Stacy Garrop's poignant setting of the last letter written to Ruth Bader Ginsburg by her beloved husband, adapted just for 21V, will touch your heart.

Find hope in unity: Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate's We Are the Storm reminds us that even in darkness, we can find strength and change together.
We don't just sing. We ignite. We are a catalyst for change, pushing the boundaries of choral expression with every note.
We're a house of ideas, where unexplored sonic landscapes unfold and artistic possibilities blossom.
This isn't just a choir. It's a vibrant tapestry woven with threads of inclusivity, artistry, and a burning desire to ignite positive change.
"For me, 21V represents a house of ideas where new music meets the opportunities of the world in which we live."
– Martín Benvenuto, Founder and Artistic Director
