The Camilla Vaitaitis Quartet: Original Works

Nocturne is thrilled to present this month-long series by the Camilla Vaitaitis Quartet as they present a collection of Camilla's original works. A Denver native, Camilla's singular voice as a pianist, composer, and bandleader blends seamlessly a wide range of musical influences for a dynamic, personal style that feels equally at home in Colorado's indie rock scene as it does on the Nocturne stage. For this series, Camilla will be joined by other Denver favorites, including Adam Gang (saxophone), Patrick McDevitt (bass), and Kevin Matthews and Braxton Kahn (drums).
