In their concert Rooted, the Vocal Art Ensemble digs deep into the salt of the earth, excavating the cultural foundations that shape the ever-flourishing art of song. Cultivating choral transplants across countries and generations, VAE nurtures a musical garden of human experience, through the common grounds of life, death, faith, serenity, love, and dreams.
Based in Davis, California, the Vocal Art Ensemble brings together experienced musicians pursuing artistic expression through finesse of the human voice. Formed in February 2008, VAE’s mission is to blend musical artistry, passion, and camaraderie—to create, to grow, to connect, and to enliven the human experience.
