A season of beautiful music begins long before the first note is sung.

As the Colorado Vocal Arts Ensemble prepares for an exciting 2026–2027 season — including a world premiere commission and the 25th anniversary of Wintersong — we’re reminded that performances like these are only possible because of a community that believes in the power of choral music.

Your support helps bring ambitious artistic programming to life, supports talented singers and musicians, and ensures that meaningful musical experiences continue to flourish in our community.

If CVAE’s music has moved you, inspired you, or brought beauty to your life, we invite you to help us grow something beautiful together.
