For over a decade
Vocal Arts Ensemble
of Ann Arbor has maintained a tradition of professional excellence in the
performance of fine choral music. Founded in 1992 as a small chamber group
devoted to a cappella singing, the group has solidified its
reputation as one of the premier chamber ensembles in the region,
performing several concerts each season. VAE performs with a core
group of 24 and presents a highly varied repertoire, from Josquin to
Bolcom. Benjamin Cohen, noted conductor, composer and playwright,
became music director in
2000.
VAE is a non-profit chamber ensemble run by
an elected board of directors. The ensemble includes professional singers
and instrumentalists, and enjoys a diverse membership drawn from the Ann
Arbor area, with singers chosen on the basis of musicianship. VAE has been invited to perform
throughout Michigan, collaborating with local artists and
ensembles, and is the featured choir for the A2SO
Mozart Birthday Bash.
