The Seattle Harmonic Voices is an a capella vocal ensemble dedicated to expanding the possibilities of the human voice through overtone singing.

SHV, directed by Stephen Fandrich, was founded in the fall of 1999, and has produced a two disc set titled Harmonic Voice, developed notated scores, and presented many of its own intimate performances and workshops in the U.S. and Canada. SHV is honored to have been featured at Town Hall Seattle, the Seattle Channell, On The Boards, the First Annual Seattle Sacred Music Festival at the Center for Spiritual Living, The Cornish Series at Cornish College of the Arts, the Centrum Foundation at Fort Warden State Park, the Whidbey Institute, the Stone of New York, the Arts in Nature Festival, Samadhi Yoga, KBCS, KUOW, Hearts of Space and live for Sonarchy Radio produced by Jack Straw on KEXP, an award winning international webcast station.

The music of the Seattle Harmonic Voices is primarily slow, meditative and focused resonance with reverence to modern forms of overtone singing, to musical elements of other cultures, stochastic music, free and structured improvisation, mimesis, and to the crafted world of just-intonation and thru-composition.
