What Travels
"What Travels" explores the ways memory and knowledge are carried across generations - not only through families, but through music itself.
Jessie Montgomery's Source Code traces musical lineages and inherited ideas, showing how fragments of the past help shape new creation. Flowing directly into Osvaldo Golijov's Tenebrae, the music takes us to a place of grief, stillness, and remembrance.
Continuing with Diego Vega Desenne's Diaspora, our view expands outward to explore themes of migration, displacement, and resilience through the musical traditions of Latin America. Together, these three works consider what endures as people move, traditions evolve, and what travels across borders and through time. In the end, What Travels affirms that music itself is one of humanity's most enduring forms of memory.

The Music of Thomas Tallis
Camerata, from the Latin for “chamber”, is a term often used to refer to smaller ensembles that specialize in the intimate and virtuosic genre of chamber music, usually from earlier eras. The Brattleboro Camerata is just such a group - a chamber vocal ensemble devoted to exploring the craft, beauty, and transcendence of the music of the European Renaissance.
Camerata’s performances breathe life anew into ancient music, enveloping the listener in the astonishing sonic geometry of Renaissance Polyphony.
