exploring the connectivity of all things
WE ARE AMPERsAND
AMPERSAND is a virtuosic vocal chamber ensemble based in Richmond, Vermont. Through collaboration & context we explore the intersection of music & speech, independence & community.
We endeavor to bring consort singing into the spotlight through the transcendent & captivating repertoire of the late renaissance.
AMPERSAND is Madeline Apple Healey, Joseph Hubbard, Andrew Padgett, Timothy Parsons, Jacob Perry, & Ellie Sutherland.
Founded in 2014 by friends from music school, Madeline Healey & Anna Lenti, AMPERSAND presented four seasons of programming in New York City, including collaborations with Holy Trinity Bach Vespers and Urban Playground Chamber Orchestra. After a several-year hiatus, some introspection, & a pandemic, we’re delighted to be getting the band back together to bring world-class vocal chamber music to Vermont. We had our debut concert at the Old Round Church in Richmond, & are looking forward to seeing you & singing for you this year!
