Cincinnati Fusion Ensemble The CFE is a professional ensemble comprised of 16-24 singers (from a roster of over 40) based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Gray.

Brad Caldwell, Artistic Director: Howard Helvey, Conductor & Composer; Gwen Coleman, Associate Conductor. THE CINCINNATI FUSION ENSEMBLE is a professional performing ensemble with a threefold mission: to offer world-class performances, to foster young musicians through high-level music education, and to engage the community. CFE was established in 2013 and is comprised of a roster of over 30 nationally and internationally renowned singers based in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. The professional Ensemble, in various groupings, performs in the genres of choral music, art song, vocal chamber music, musical theater, jazz, folk music, oratorio, and chamber opera. In the fall of 2016, CFE became the recording choir for new and best-selling choral works by the historic publisher, H.W. Having already produced a wide variety of concerts, the Ensemble continues to develop a unique mentorship program to offer applied lessons to highly talented students—regardless of their socio-economic status. These lessons are subsidized through grants and partnerships in the form of need and talent based scholarships. Students experience high-level, excellent instruction with teachers of the caliber found in the finest collegiate music schools. Integral to the advancement of CFE's mission, the Cincinnati Fusion Ensemble was recently approved for state and federal non-profit status, and is a registered 501(c)(3) organization.
