Continuum: Ensemble Altramar

Altramar, in the Occitan language of the troubadours, was the name given to the Near Eastern land that lay "over the sea," the lands where Crusade and trade resulted in the rich cultural interchange of East and West.

The American medieval music ensemble "Altramar" will be heard on the next Continuum, sharing their historical repertory in the context of human experience, and evoking the vibrant tapestry of medieval culture. Recordings used will be: "Nova Stella" - Dorian DIS-80142, "Saint Francis and the Minstrels of God" - Dorian DIS-80143, and "Crossroads of the Celts" - Dorian DOR-93177.

Milton has been the co-host (with Thais St. Julien) of Continuum since 1976. He is a true New Orleanean, born on Mardi Gras day, attending P. A. Capdau Grammar School and Warren Easton High School. After completing the five year program of the Tulane School of Architecture in 1956 he was drafted into the Army. After a two year stint in the combat engineers in Germany he returned to New Orleans to work with the architectural firm of Goldstein, Parham & Labouisse, becoming an associate in the firm of Parham & Labouisse after Mr. Goldstein’s death. He was appointed University Architect for Dillard University in 1972 and retired from that position in 2002.
