A Grand Finale: Honoring 30 Years of Music and Becky Graber’s
Farewell Harmonia Performance
Brattleboro Harmonia will present its 30th Anniversary spring concert, “The Sound Shelter of a Thousand Songs,” on Mother’s Day, May 10, at 4 pm at the Latchis Theatre. This afternoon of music marks a profound milestone: the conclusion of Becky Graber’s thirty-year tenure as the director of the choral group she founded in 1996. In a symbolic passing of the pitchpipe, Graber will co-direct this final performance alongside the chorus’ future director, Anna Patton, joined by nearly 100 singers and a distinguished instrumental ensemble featuring Stefan Amidon on percussion, Cathy Martin on piano, and Lisa McCormick on guitar.
The performance serves as both a retrospective and a debut, weaving together the chorus’ three-decade history with new creative horizons. The singers will reprise “Adiemus,” a movement from a major work the chorus first performed in 2002, and share contemporary favorites like MaMuse’s “Home in the Holy,” Coco Love Alcorn’s “The River,” and Katie Gavin’s powerful “The Baton.”
Highlighting the event are two world premieres: Graber’s own ten-movement setting of Matty Weingast’s translations of poems by early Buddhist Nuns, and a new composition by Patton titled “Sound Shelter,” written specifically to honor Graber’s enduring legacy. The walls of the Latchis will reverberate with this celebration of multi-generational community music making, celebrating the chorus’ history and launching Brattleboro Harmonia’s next chapter.
Tickets are available below on a sliding scale of $15-$40. Come celebrate 30 years of harmonies and joy as one chapter closes and a beautiful new harmony begins.
