About Our Choir
VAE aims to present exquisite evenings of music, appealing to both the discerning musician and the casual music lover. Incorporating visuals and storytelling into their themed programs, VAE connects with other artistic enterprises to celebrate the elegance of Renaissance madrigals, tonal color of modern works, and exotic flavor of music from other cultures.
