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.
