Founded in 2009 by Cal Lutheran University Professor of Music Dr. Wyant Morton, Areté Vocal Ensemble is an innovative professional ensemble of vocal artists based at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, California. Areté has the goal of performing the widest possible vocal and choral repertoire including works from essentially all periods of music history with energy, passion, expertise, and virtuosity. Special attention is given to contemporary, experimental, improvisatory, and “cross-over” music.
Areté seeks to build new audiences by developing trailblazing modes of presentation, including interdisciplinary collaborations, while maintaining the highest artistic standards. With an ear for the new, the unknown, and the unconventional, Areté strives to expose its audiences to exciting, adventurous and trendsetting music in formats that make the music accessible and alive. 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.
