The past months have been difficult for so many reasons, but certainly one reason is a forced reckoning with our own feelings and emotions. Months of solitude injected with stress and fear have spawned emotional turbulence that have coerced deep introspection. Fortunately, this the very purpose of music and art – to allow exploration, investment, and expansion in our own emotional state, or that which makes us not just human, but actually real. 18th century musicians knew this about music – that it has the power to metamorphize pain and restore balance, using just the delicate effervescence of vibration, light, and meaning. Soprano Linda Tsatsanis, cellist Nathan Whittaker, and poet Nikolijne Troubetzkoy curate our reflection on (journey of) emotional turbulence allowing the music of Henry Purcell, Henri de Bailly, Evaristo Felice Dall'Abaco, John Dowland, Sébastien Le Camus, J.S. Bach, and Nicola Matteis to be our guide.
The livestream will take place at 2pm Pacific.
