My quartet, the Tenores de Aterúe, will be performing at the Four Corners Schoolhouse (945 Vincent Flats Rd, East Montpelier) next Thursday at 7:30 pm.

The Tenores de Aterúe (Avery Book, Gideon Crevoshay, Carl Linich, and Doug Paisley) formed in 2008 to study and perform traditional songs from the Mediterranean island of Sardinia. The entrancing guttural sounds, overtones, and rhythmic precision of the traditional singing called cantu a tenore led UNESCO to declare it a "Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" (2005). The Tenores are the only ensemble outside of Sardinia that is dedicated to singing cantu a tenore. They also sing songs from the rich paghjella tradition of Corsica. Over the years, the Tenores have been in-demand performers on stages throughout the US, Canada, and Sardinia. They have appeared on VPR, New York City's WFMU, BBC Radio, and on Sardinia's Radio Barbagia and TCS Television. In January, they were presented by Revels, Inc. in Boston and by the Folklore Society of Greater Washington.
