The Americas Vocal Ensemble
was founded by its Director Nelly Vuksic as a professional chamber
group whose mission is to foster understanding among the people of the
Americas and to preserve the musical and cultural richness of the
diverse countries of North and South America. It brings to its
audiences a most enjoyable and rarely performed repertory which
encompasses the whole range of the music of the Americas, from the
colonial period to contemporary times, through concerts, educational
programs and recordings.
The Americas Vocal Ensemble made its
debut at New York's Americas Society in 1982, and has performed
throughout the northeast U.S. and South America. They present unique
and innovative programs and have performed premieres of more than 100
contemporary works, including compositions by leading North and South
American composers. AVE has been heard on National Public Radio, many
New York stations and the Voice of America. They have also appeared on
New York Public Television and the Hispanic Information and
Telecommunications TV Network. Their latest CD “Canticas y Madrigales” has been recorded for 4Tay Records, and is available at http://www.classicalcds.net. They have also recorded for CBS, Opus 1, Premiere and North/South Consonance. Visit their webpage at http://www.americasvocalensemble.org/.
