Mission Statement San Francisco Renaissance Voices is an Early Music ensemble located in San Francisco. SFRV seeks to present our audiences with choral, instrumental, operatic, and related works.

Thank You for Supporting Us
With much contemplation and discussion, the San Francisco Renaissance Voices has decided to close its curtains. We will always be so grateful to our patrons, fans, and artists for their time, dedication and love of Renaissance music.
“ … a standout within the crowded field of Bay Area early music ensembles.” - San Francisco Classical Voice (July 28, 2009)
"The SFRV performs [these] classics from the golden age of European polyphony the way they were meant to be heard: large ensemble voices lifting the soul for sacred moments. Living history doesn't get any better." - SFWeekly, selecting us as their 2010 pick for "Best Classical Music" (Summer 2010)
"One could not have asked for a more entertaining spectacle ... a tour de force." - San Francisco Examiner (June 2013)
“… A wonderful performance of Ordo Virtutum. I absolutely loved it!” - HealthyHildegard.com (July 2017) of our remount of Hildegard's masterpiece
“SFRV brought a transparency to all of the vocal selections, the words of all the selections were clear. This was clearly a sincere account of music that was frequently rich in its embellishing figures and SFRV came through with a stimulating journey of sources that are, for the most part, unfamiliar to most listeners.” - The Rehearsal Studio (August 2019)
