Concert Calendar

Since 1985, the forty voices of Choral Arts Ensemble have inspired audiences with performances of marvelous choral repertoire. Under the leadership of Michael Culloton, the Choral Arts Ensemble is entering its twenty-fourth season and will continue to celebrate music's power to delight and inspire with first-rate performances for audiences throughout southeastern Minnesota.

All performances include a 20 minute pre-concert lecture given by Artistic Director Michael Culloton. The lectures, which will include historical and musical information about many of the works presented on that evening's program, will be sure to enhance your musical appreciation for the concert and provide a quicker connection and understanding of the works you will hear performed by the CAE. Lectures will begin one-half hour prior to the beginning of each concert.

Season Tickets are now on sale. See our tickets page for information on ordering by mail or phone. We welcome listeners from any background, discriminating against no one.  The only restriction placed upon our audience is that we do not invite young children (aged six years and below) to join us, as much for their own comfort as our need for a controlled environment: choral music can be very quiet indeed!

Concert venues and CAE offices are handicap accessible; large-print programs are available with advance notice.
