Poetry beyond the horizon—Kile Smith, composer of the VAE's stunning Canticle, returns with a relevatory masterpiece The Arc in the Sky, inspired by words of Robert Lax, gets its Cincinnati premiere by Craig Hella Johnson and the VAE. Lax, a close friend of Trappist monk Thomas Merton, was named “one of the great original voices of our times” by American icon Jack Kerouac. That voice rises and converges on meaning and emotion in Smith’s powerful new work.

CANCELLATION NOTICE:
In accordance with Governor DeWine’s orders prohibiting large gatherings to help prevent the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), all VAE concerts and events are canceled through at least April 5.

With heavy hearts, the Vocal Arts Ensemble of Cincinnati has elected to postpone its January 8 and 9 performances of “The Song Among Us" to a later date, to be announced. This postponement is prompted by production challenges exacerbated by the recent rise in positive COVID cases across the nation. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding as we continue to adapt to ever-changing circumstances.
