Testimonials

What choirs and reviewers say

A few words from conductors, critics, and ensembles who have performed my music.

"A voice that evokes fundamental elements through harmonies seeking balance between the earthly and the spiritual (...) transforming text into an experience of spiritual unity."

Cor de la Generalitat Valenciana Universitat de València, Spain

"Veros's works offer an impressive word painting (...) gorgeous close-interval dissonances that require precision. The resolution is only a longing."

Daryl Browne Oregon Arts Watch, USA

"Santiago makes the sound move us in a way nothing else does; it is contemplative, reserved music that connects deeply with human resilience."

Anna Hamre Artistic Director, Fresno Master Chorale

Commission Access

Legacy path

A small circle helps bring a new work to life at institutional scale. Seats are limited, and when they’re taken, access closes.

  • A Patron seat in the commissioning circle (recognition in the work).
  • Funds flow through partner universities/choirs (tax deduction where applicable).
  • A private brief and timeline once you request a seat.
Seats remaining 3

When the seats are filled, the circle closes.
