Tactus SF members have been collaborating virtually on various solo, duet, chamber music, and group singing projects since we stopped organizing in-person rehearsals in March 2020. Our first Tactus Salon, held as an intimate private Zoom event in October 2020, was such a smashing success that we are opening our next Salon to a wider audience.

Choir members will showcase videos that they have put together over the past three months, as individuals or in small groups, in an immersive Zoom meeting. These videos are never-before-seen, even by other choir members! You'll get to join in on informal conversations as we unveil our creations to each other for the first time.

In addition to small projects, our founding director Tanmoy Laskar (currently working in the UK) and co-director Susan Swerdlow are leading rehearsals for a subset of the choir over the real-time music software Jamulus to prepare and record three choral pieces by Tallis, Palestrina, and Rossi for this event.

2:15-3:00pm PST: Post-concert Virtual Reception

After the main program, join us for a "concert reception" in a Gather room, where you can use an avatar to walk around a virtual room and spontaneously video chat with groups of people, just like you would after a real concert - free food and drink not included!
