Our Mission and Vision

Mission

To provide performances of the great sacred and secular choral works to southeastern North Carolina.

Our Vision

Founded to complement the vibrant cultural landscape of southeastern North Carolina, Carolina Vocal Arts Ensemble strives to present outstanding choral music in partnership with professional soloists and instrumentalists. Our all-volunteer, auditioned singers exemplify a commitment to musical excellence and education, encouraging a diverse and interactive choral community. We seek to inspire singers, educate our youth and entertain our audiences with landmark classical masterworks, compelling opera selections, and little-known and traditional choral gems.
