Classically trained singers who are passionate about choral music
We strongly believe that experiencing choral performance, both as a singer and as a listener, can be truly inspirational.

I was very impressed
I met Sofia Gioldasi in Spain some years ago and we could share a wonderful week of music and friendship. Since the beginning I noticed her strong commitment and love to choral music as well as deep motivation to create and develop new projects in her country after her stay in the Netherlands. “Voci Contra Tempo is the result” of that search and that initiative. I could meet the choir in Arezzo in August 2021 and I was very impressed by the sound quality of the group as well as the intelligent and creative selection of the repertoire. I am sure this group will contribute to developing the choir world in Greece and Europe and I wish them all the best!
a unique experience for both the participants and the public
Undoubtedly, each project of “Voci Contra Tempo” is a unique experience for both the participants and the public. Wherever I am, “Voci Contra Tempo” holds a very special place in my heart. And this is because my participation with the ensemble, both on an artistic and a human level, has helped me to discover and love the paths that today – without any exaggeration – define my life in the most beautiful way.

There is a lot that I could say about “Voci Contra Tempo”. I could talk about artistic perfection, courage, love of beauty, incredible methodical preparation and patience. The most important thing, however, is that when I think of these ‘golden girls’ and their incredible conductor, a wide smile spontaneously breaks across my face!
