WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Latest Video Release
We were proud to have partnered with Portland’s own Big Horn Brass to present John Rutter’s majestic Gloria, for choir, brass, organ and percussion for our December 2024 concert.
The concert also featured the intimate story-telling of Sarah Quartel’s Snow Angel—featured below—an evocative five-movement choral work that explores themes of love, rebirth, and beauty through the eyes of children and the heavenly army of angels that watch over them.

SING WITH US
CAE is one of the region’s premier choirs. We are an auditioned ensemble made up of singers from a variety of professional occupations and singing backgrounds. We join together for a simple reason: passion, for music, for our fellow singers and for our audiences. We strive to nurture an environment where singers and audience members alike can share their authentic selves in rehearsals and performances. We seek choral singers of extraordinary skill who will share in this passion.
