The AVE 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, whose CDs
