Music speaks to the heart, mind, and soul; it lifts us and inspires us; and it intimately connects us to our emotions. It has the profound power to open the human experience, and it enriches our lives beyond measure.

The Vocal Arts Ensemble is guided by our belief in the power. Our unparalleled performances combine the elite power of professional singers with architecturally beautiful spaces and breathtaking music to create experiences that envelop and inspire our listeners.
But we can’t do it without people like you.

Ticket sales only cover a percentage of performance expenses, and it is the support of choral music lovers like you that keeps the VAE able to do what we do best: present “sublime” musical experiences that are “both probing and inspiring”(Cincinnati Enquirer, 2015).

Help make our music possible – support the Vocal Arts Ensemble today!
