Daniel Steinberg has been collecting choral music from around the world for many years, concentrating entirely on repertoire that is really fun and interesting to sing. He has been leading Instant Chorus workshops at dance and music festivals around the country for several years, and his supportive teaching style and infectious enthusiasm make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Daniel founded the World Harmony Chorus in 1999, with groups in Mountain View, Oakland, and Santa Cruz, and he continues to arrange music for all branches. In addition to choir directing, Daniel plays piano and flute with the popular traditional fiddle music ensemble Hillbillies from Mars, performs Latin American music with Tierra Vieja, and has co-hosted a radio talk show on food and cooking, called What's For Dinner?

Betsy Blakeslee has directed choruses in California, the Balkans, and NYC. She founded Expressive Arts Refuge which has taken musicians, educators, and Arabic speakers to run music programs at refugee camps in France, Greece, Lebanon, and Jerusalem. Her Balkan chorus performed at the State of the World Forum and the UN Millenium Summit. She has directed the Oakland branch of the World Harmony Chorus since 2008 and co-directs the Virtual WHC with Daniel Steinberg.
