Since 1973, the Syracuse Vocal Ensemble has served the musical arts in Syracuse and its surrounding regions with excellent choral programming and performance.

SVE’s artistry, range of repertoire and quality of sound have been confirmed by invitations to collaborate with the Dave Brubeck Quartet, Open Hand Theatre, Society for New Music, Skaneateles Festival and the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra.

SVE typically presents a four-concert season performing the best of choral music – particularly a cappella music – from medieval times to the present day, including commissioned works.

* The Syracuse Vocal Ensemble exists to nurture a widespread appreciation for the art of chamber choral singing by performing consistently innovative and outstanding choral programs
* to provide an opportunity for exceptional local singers to demonstrate their skills and artistry in an ensemble setting
* to enhance the reputation and cultural resources of Central New York
* to offer outreach to younger singers of the greater Syracuse community by encouraging their continued musical and vocal development
* to engage in the activity of choral singing for its intrinsic worth as an art form

SPECTRUM draws upon the talent of four radiant voices and diverse personalities to form a first-class vocal quartet covering the music of the Four Tops and the Platters, the Temptations, Boyz 2 Men and other well-known groups with angelic harmonies and deft choreography.

A lovely arrangement of holiday music will be heard to get everyone in the mood.

“When I see Santa this year, all I want to do is express my gratitude for the good people around me- family and friends. I really have all that I want; the only thing on my Christmas list is for everyone to get together to celebrate the holidays. I’m trying to make that happen during the month of December,” states OL owner Melissa Tiffany. “And Sasha is such a beautiful venue, and they are a wonderful group, I definately wanted them to celebrate with me.”

Sasha Salon & Spa is open Tuesday – Friday from 9am – 6pm and Saturday from 8am – 4pm. The owner, Michalle Harmon, is a friend of the arts and her shop coninues to promote fine art in the area.
