It’s our 30th birthday, and this season we’re celebrating the one core tenet of our “music without borders” mission that we feel best defines the Panoramic Voices experience: JOY… The joy of artistry. The joy of community. The joy of embracing the unknown. The joy of using your voice for good. These moments—big and small—are what have shaped Panoramic Voices over the past three decades, and they're what continue to inspire everything we do. We hope you'll join us as we celebrate our 30th anniversary season: JUST JOY.
Our biggest season yet features something for everyone: from immersive artistic collaborations and intimate outdoor concerts to community sing-alongs, orchestral masterworks, and one unforgettable anniversary gala. We even have a few surprises still in the works! With larger venues, more opportunities to sing, and more room for audiences than ever before, we can't wait to share this milestone season with you.
As always, registration opens for each project individually, approximately three months before each performance, allowing singers to participate in as many—or as few—projects as they'd like. Be sure to join our email list and follow us on Facebook and Instagram so you don't miss a thing!
A note about our rehearsal schedules
Most of our rehearsals take place on Thursday evenings from 7-9pm in the Northwest Hills area. Additionally, each project will have a smattering of Saturday morning rehearsals (9am-12pm). Most projects do not have rehearsals on other days of the week unless absolutely necessary—full schedules are always released as part of registration for each project. We are willing to be flexible with singers who communicate their absences clearly with us!

MeSSIAH
WITH CENTRAL TEXAS PHILHARMONIC
Klett Center for the Performing Arts
CONCERTS: December 20, 2026
REHEARSALS: Beginning Nov. 14, 2026
We will be accompanying CTP in their performance of Messiah (Part 1 plus the Hallelujah chorus) again this season! This is a condensed project leading up to one concert in Georgetown, TX. Singers should be comfortable learning their parts from practice tracks and music at home, as we will only rehearse a few times for this one. In other words, while all are welcome, this project may be challenging for beginners. The dress rehearsal and performance will both take place at the stunning Klett Center in Georgetown under the direction of Maestro Stefan Sanders!

BEETHOVEN 9
WITH CENTRAL TEXAS PHILHARMONIC
Klett Center for the Performing Arts
CONCERTS: April 18, 2027
REHEARSALS: Beginning March 13, 2027
Join Panoramic Voices and Central Texas Philharmonic for a performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9. Featuring the beloved "Ode to Joy" chorus, this project is a wonderful opportunity to experience the thrill of singing with a full orchestra, whether you're checking a bucket-list piece off your list or looking for an approachable first orchestral collaboration.
This project involves a condensed, 6-rehearsal schedule leading up to concert week, with the dress rehearsal and concert taking place at the beautiful Klett Center in Georgetown under the direction of Maestro Stefan Sanders. Because the choral movement is both familiar and relatively concise, this project is an excellent way for newer singers to dip their toes into large-scale classical performance while still offering an unforgettable experience for more seasoned choristers.
Registration opens in EARLY FEBRUARY 2027

Directed by Juli Orlandini, Panoramic Voices is an adventurous choral collective that thrives on a “music without borders” approach to music making. With collaborations spanning all genres from classical, country, rock, hip hop, and beyond, PV has worked with a dizzying array of artists such as Mobley, Roky Erickson, Carson McHone, Calliope Musicals, Zeale, and Grammy Award-winners Roomful of Teeth. The commissioning of new works has also been an important part of Panoramic Voice’s mission, resulting in the premiere of compositions by Pulitzer Prize-winner Caroline Shaw, Wilco’s Glenn Kotche, Austin luminary Graham Reynolds, and many more.
The ensemble has been widely recognized for its artistic endeavors, including “Best Choral Performance” from the Austin Critics’ Table, a cover story on Chorus America’s “The Voice” magazine, and regular listing among the Austin Chronicles “Top 10 Treasures.” The Austin American Statesman has hailed the group’s work as “always adventurous.”
In service to the greater Austin arts community, Panoramic Voices regularly partners with charitable organizations like the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM), SIMS, and Kids In a New Groove (KING) to provide support to the well-being of Austin artists.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Our mission to provide exceptional choral experiences—free of traditional financial, emotional, and logistical boundaries—requires a whole lot of time, energy, and staff! Your support helps us provide FREE services to all who want them! Please consider a gift of any size to Panoramic Voices, and support “music without borders” in Austin, Texas!
