Season Finale! Milestones: Colorado Vocal Arts Ensemble at 30

Presented by Colorado Vocal Arts Ensemble at Ent Center for the Arts

Join Colorado Vocal Arts Ensemble to celebrate 30 years of commitment to the choral art!

The performance will feature Jaakko Mäntyjärvi’s Canticum Calamitatis Maritimae, a dramatic and moving musical portrait of a ship lost at sea. This compelling work is a beloved CVAE favorite, bringing frequent requests for repetition by singers and audiences alike. We will explore new territory with De Profundis by Venezuelan composer Cristian Grases.

Motets, madrigals, and choral arrangements of popular songs round out the program, making this an eclectic experience not to be missed! A reception will follow the performance.

About CVAE
Colorado Vocal Arts Ensemble (CVAE) was founded in 1992. Under the direction of Deborah Jenkins Teske, the Ensemble has garnered praise for “flawless sound” and “courageous programming,” and been hailed as “a hidden gem in the middle of Colorado.” Now celebrating 30 years of steadfast commitment to artistic excellence and community involvement, CVAE believes that art thrives where it is planted.

CVAE’s annual concert series features traditional works and new music sourced from all over the world. Programming is carefully crafted and highly varied, designed to create memorable experiences for audiences. While a cappella singing is at the heart of CVAEs identity, collaborations have brought opportunities to explore a broader repertoire. Vital partnerships with the Chamber Orchestra of the Springs, Parish House Baroque, and the Colorado College Summer Music Festival have allowed for performance of such diverse works as Brahms’ A German Requiem, Menotti’s The Unicorn, the Gorgon, and the Manticore. and Stravinsky’s Les Noces.  Other important collaborators have included the Green Box Arts Festival, Ormao Dance Company, Colorado Springs Children’s Chorale, The Denver Brass, and The Colorado Ballet Society.
