Vocal Arts of Fairfax
Vocal Arts of Fairfax provides community-focused, accessible and inclusive choral performances. We seek to build unity among our singers and to create an inspired environment for our audiences. Directed by Michael Ehrlich, our mission includes community care outreach initiatives as part of its core. Vocal Arts of Fairfax does not require auditions.
Established on July 1, 2024, this adult chorus of 120 singers performs a variety of genres, including traditional choral literature, American folk songs and spirituals, music of different cultures, vocal jazz, and Broadway.
Along with bringing choral music to the community, the ensemble embraces the true meaning of community by seeking diversity in its make-up and in its repertoire. Additionally, the ensemble will embrace all elements of our community to foster inclusiveness, to help those in need, and to share our love of the choral art. All levels and voice parts are welcome.

Performance Highlights, From America With Song
Wade in the Water was an audience favorite song from the May 31, 2026 performance, From America With Song.
This arrangement was done by Moses Hogan. This spiritual reminds us that music was also a tool of survival. Believed to have been used as a coded message along the Underground Railroad, it instructed those escaping slavery to move through water to avoid detection.
As we move into the American Songbook, we encounter music shaped by pivotal moments in our nation’s history. During World War II, music was a vital source of morale.
Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy lifted spirits with energy and humor. It is featured here in our concert performance, From America With Song, a tribute to our nation’s 250th anniversary.
Through storytelling and song, Broadway emerged as a powerful voice in shaping the American narrative.
Climb Ev’ry Mountain calls us forward—with courage, faith and determination to pursue something greater than ourselves. After World War II, America sought healing and renewal. You’ll Never Walk Alone became an anthem of comfort, assuring us that even in our darkest moments, we are not alone.
