Arete Vocal Ensemble

Areté is an innovative professional ensemble of vocal artists based in Thousand Oaks. The goal of the ensemble is to perform and record – with energy, passion, expertise and virtuosity – the widest possible choral repertoire including works from essentially all periods of music history. Special attention will be given to contemporary, experimental, improvisatory, “cross-over” and ethnic music.

Through the combined power of words and music, an uncompromising attention to musical detail and a passion for live performance, an Areté concert promises to be a joyful, moving, educational and soul-nurturing experience. Join us for this historic premiere concert. Wyant Morton (pictured) conducts.
