Brattleboro Camerata

The Brattleboro Camerata is a new vocal ensemble, a chamber choir consisting of 12 to 16 singers, specializing in both Renaissance-era and Renaissance-inspired music.

In collaboration with Music Director Jonathan Harvey, the Brattleboro Camerata will explore both beloved classics and under-performed gems through innovative and energetic programming and performance.

BIPOC singers, and singers of all gender identities, are especially invited to join for this, our inaugural season. Our repertoire for the 2021-22 season will include sacred and secular works by Josquin des Prez, Orlando di Lasso, Cristobal de Morales, Vittoria Aleotti, Tomas Luis de Victoria, Vicente Lusitano, Maddalena Casulana, Juan del Encina, and more!

Music Director Jonathan Harvey
Dr. Jonathan Harvey is the founding Music Director of the Brattleboro Camerata. In addition to his work with the Camerata, he is also Assistant Professor of Music and Director of Choirs at Fitchburg State University, and Music Director of the Brattleboro Concert Choir.

Jonathan’s dedication to early music has inspired his research, presentations, and recordings of the music of Venetian Renaissance composer Adrian Willaert, his published work on music of Orlando di Lasso and C.P.E. Bach, and his frequent performances of Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque repertoire. His commissioning projects, composer collaborations, and frequent performances of new and contemporary works are a testament to his commitment to ensuring that classical music is a living, breathing art form.

Jonathan has previously held music director positions with universities, community music organizations, and churches in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Indiana, and is a sought-after clinician and adjudicator. He is a member of the American Choral Directors Association, the National Collegiate Choral Organization, College Music Society, and Chorus America, and serves as a board member and Grants Committee Chair for Choral Arts New England. He currently lives in central Massachusetts with his wife Jessica and their son Wally.
