Welcome to our new Assistant Conductor

Cameron Brownell

Cameron, a native Vermonter from Colchester, graduated summa cum laude from SUNY Potsdam’s Crane School of Music with degrees in Music Education and Voice Performance. He went on to earn a master’s degree in Sacred Music from the University of Notre Dame where he received the Sacred Music Program’s Academic Achievement Award.

After living in Utah for three years, where he worked as a chorus teacher and parish music director, and sang with the Utah Chamber Artists under the direction of Dr. Barlow Bradford, Cameron moved back to Vermont to accept the job as Chorus Teacher at Champlain Valley Union High School in Hinesburg in 2020. In February 2022, he took on the additional role of Music Director at Charlotte Congregational Church in Charlotte.

Our Videos

This past season we made videos of both our Christmas and Spring concerts. They can be viewed on our video page on this website, and on our YouTube Channel.

During Covid when we were unable to sing together, we continued singing virtually, producing many beautiful videos, which may also be found on YouTube.
