For over two decades, the Vocal Arts Ensemble (VAE) of Ann Arbor has maintained a tradition of professional excellence in the performance of fine choral music. As one of the premier chamber choir ensembles in the region, they have been invited to perform throughout Michigan, collaborating with local artists and ensembles, and have been the featured choir with the Ann Arbor Symphony. Under the direction of Ben Cohen, for this concert a smaller version of VAE will perform an eclectic selection of classical, musical theater and jazz music – with a Valentine’s week focus on songs about love. They will be joined by Tyler Driskill on piano.
