$3,000 Goal

"For me, 21V represents a house of ideas where new music meets the opportunities of the world in which we live." – Martín Benvenuto, Founder & Artistic Director


Seeking to affect change in the traditionally non-inclusive classical music industry, 21V embraces inclusivity as its core value. Freeing the concept of treble choir from gender and gender identity, our multi-racial and multi-identity ensemble includes cis and transgender women, and cis and non-binary countertenors. 

On the heels of our Sonic Reflections on Interconnectedness performance, please help us realize our third season's (2023-2024) projects that explore the imperative need for radical change!




ABOUT US

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area and LGBTQ-led, 21V is a new professional ensemble of soprano and alto voices of all genders and gender identities. Founded in 2021 by Dr. Martín Benvenuto, 21V explores a broad identity of contemporary American music by focusing on music of the 21st century of the 3 Americas, and challenges existing boundaries and assumptions – both artistically and socially. 21V aims to serve as a beacon for a new generation of treble music lovers, while at the same time inspire awareness and advocacy for underrepresented American continent perspectives.
