The Brattleboro (VT) Camerata, a small chamber choir focused on Renaissance-era and Renaissance-inspired music, is currently seeking new members of every voice part for its upcoming season – it especially invites BIPOC singers and singers of all gender identities to audition.
Rehearsals are Mondays 6:30-8:30 pm at the Brattleboro Music Center, and starting on Monday, September 18, we will be preparing a program titled “Treasure Hidden Within.” The repertoire will include four pieces that use pre-existing tunes hidden carefully within their overall musical textures: Palestrina’s Missa L’homme arme a 4, Verdi’s “Ave Maria” from Quattro Pezzi Sacri, Durufle’s Quatre Motets sur des Thèmes Grégoriens, and Josquin’s Missa La sol fa re mi. “Treasure Hidden Within” will be presented at the BMC Auditorium on Sunday December 10, 2023.
Auditions will occur in mid-late August, and will consist of exercises for range, tonal memory, intonation, and sight-singing. In addition, when you sign up for an audition, you will receive a piece to prepare in advance. To schedule an audition with Music Director Jonathan Harvey, or to ask any questions, contact the BMC at or (802) 257-4523.
