About Camino
Voces Boreales est heureux de vous présenter leur projet immersif, Camino. Inspiré par le Camino francés de Compostelle — la vénérable route des pèlerins de Saint-Jacques dans le nord de l’Espagne — Camino est un cheminement intérieur dont on ressort transformé.
Camino, une expérience sonore 360° exceptionnelle, exploite la technologie de pointe pour donner la possibilité au public de plonger dans le chef d’œuvre choral Path of Miracles de Joby Talbot. Dix-huit haut-parleurs disposés en demi-cercle sont consacrés aux 18 voix du chœur, parmi lesquels les visiteurs se déplacent librement. Ainsi, l’auditeur peut tantôt apprécier l’intensité des harmonies d’ensemble, tantôt la simplicité du timbre d’un seul des chanteurs, explorant ainsi de vastes perspectives sonores.
Cette approche novatrice redéfinit l’expérience de concert, traditionnellement passive, et propose une participation sémillante et un moment d’exaltation.
Voces Boreales is proud to present their immersive project, Camino. Inspired by the Camino francés of Santiago de Compostela — the venerable pilgrimage route in northern Spain — Camino speaks of a transformative inner journey.
Camino, a unique 360-surround sound experience, uses cutting-edge technology to draw the public into the mystical and introspective choral masterpiece Path of Miracles by Joby Talbot. 18 speakers are dedicated to the 18 voices of the choir, amongst which the visitors walk freely. As they step into the center of the installation, their senses move from the unique timbre of each singer to the awe-inspiring unity of the whole ensemble’s — offering a rare glimpse into an immersive and transformative soundscape.
This groundbreaking approach to music performance reshapes the experience of the concert-goer, from traditionally passive to thrillingly active.

About Voces Boreales
Ambassador of Choral Music in Canada
Founded in 2006 and now led by Andrew Gray, the chamber choir Voces Boreales champions the rich choral tradition through concert production, commissioning works, and educational activities. Voces Boreales is Montreal's leading professional chamber choir, "one of the best in Canada" according to La Scena musicale, with a repertoire spanning over four centuries of classical music, from baroque to contemporary. The ensemble collaborates with many emerging Quebecois and Canadian composers, providing them with a way to connect with audiences worldwide. Voces Boreales has been a finalist of the Opus Awards from the Conseil québécois de la musique five times over.
The world premiere of Camino took place in 2023 in Montreal, thanks to the support of the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec.
