ARCANGELI derives its moniker from Arcangelo Corelli, the father of Italian violin music. Unique in that it is both large enough to perform the grand concerto repertoire and small enough to still play as an intimate chamber ensemble, Arcangeli was founded by Michael Sand and has maintained a lineup of great instrumental soloists. |

Voxfire is the collaboration of three of the West Coast’s most highly regarded interpreters of early and contemporary vocal music. Using their distinct vocal colors, the three sopranos have melded their talents as a means of adapting and presenting the works of these eras with their very own musical style and dramatic flair. Voxfire’s sopranos are well known for their contributions to vocal music, both as soloists and as members of prominent professional ensembles. From this varied background, they have chosen the intimate approach of one-on-a-part to create an enchanting marriage between choral and solo singing: a vocal chamber music, with sonic clarity as its refreshing reward. From their highly acclaimed debut concert in December 1995 through performances at the new J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, to their recent performance of Steve Reich’s rich Tehillim at California State University, Long Beach, Voxfire continues to introduceexquisitely faceted musical gems to enthusiastic audiences throughout the West. Voxfire takes its medieval Marian program to University of California at Santa Cruz in February 2000.
