Support

The Vocal Arts Ensemble relies on the generous support of our donors and concert attendees to provide the funds needed to continue and maintain the exceptionally high quality of music making that has been the hallmark of this group for more than 25 years. Did you know that ticket sales cover less than half of the costs associated with operating and concert expenses? We hope that you will partner with us and generously invest in this group to ensure that the tradition of great choral music continues.
