We are delighted to announce that Sven Edward Olbash has taken over as the Music Director of Tactus SF this summer. Sven is a San Francisco-based voice teacher, singer, and conductor. Please join Sven and Tactus SF for a full season of concerts in 2024-25!

    Sven Edward Olbash

    Sven Edward Olbash is a multidisciplinary teaching artist with a special interest in the therapeutic potential of music, particularly for those dealing with grief. His album you who sow in tears will reap in joy with medieval vocal ensemble Euouae is available for streaming at euouae.bandcamp.com. As founder of Voice Science Studio, Sven helps choral and solo singers eliminate vocal limitations while developing more efficient muscular coordinations.

    He has been a guest conductor for San Francisco Renaissance Voices and the Gregorian Institute of Canada and has completed two Music Performance Residencies with SF Opera. As a singer, Sven has performed in recital at Old First Concerts & Center for New Music, at Other Minds Festival, and with new music ensemble Volti. He holds degrees in singing and voice pedagogy from Boston University and New England Conservatory and lives in Lower Haight with his chihuahua Tupperware.

Tactus SF Music Director Elizabeth Kimble has stepped down from her role at the end of June 2024. Ms. Kimble, who has led Tactus SF since 2021, just finished a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and will be increasingly engaged in that work, while maintaining aspects of her musical life as composer, conductor, singer, and teacher. We will miss you, Elizabeth!
