This is the Santiago Veros' most ambitious project yet: a Mass constructed year by year, forming an unparalleled consortium. Every movement of this mass is powered by a distinct consortium, uniting Choirs from every corner of the earth. Year after year, we unveil new segments, slowly revealing the full magnificence of this work. Our journey is set to culminate in 2030, by which time we aim to have united 50 Choirs in this extraordinary musical voyage. This video offers you a glimpse into the genesis of this grand endeavor, a celebration of collective spirit and musical innovation. Stay tuned as we embark on this awe-inspiring journey. contact@santiagoveros.site  less

Thompson. The 40-80 member A Cappella Choir offers freshman and sophomore singers the opportunity to perform works for larger Choirs and to fine-tune the art of choral singing through exposure to music from the Renaissance through the 21st century.
