The 30 Years War changed the map of Europe and the minds of its citizens forever.  In this multimedia concert, take a journey through one of the most devastating periods in European history through the letters, poems, speeches, and songs written at the time. This illuminating concert, featuring acclaimed countertenor Reggie Mobley, the celebrated Dark Horse Brass Consort, and the Portland Bach Experience Choir, demonstrates the triumph of the human spirit and the heart’s capacity for love and hope in the face of darkness.
