Critical Acclaim
"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, SF 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
