Event Description
Acclaimed soprano Dorothee Mields (Germany) and the ensemble La Modestine will explore heartfelt works inspired by the 30 Years War.
The German Reformation initiated by Martin Luther, along with the invention of the printing press, led to religious and cultural unrest, culminating in the Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648). Remarkably, the turbulence of one of the most brutal conflicts In Europe’s history actually resulted in an exceptionally fertile time in the arts, with writers, artists and composers reflecting the horrors of war and the longing for peace and heavenly pleasures, themes which will are expressed in this concert’s program. 3rd concert of Pacific Baroque Festival 2025. Complimentary coffee hour beforehand begins at 10 AM..
"Transcendent, luminous, nuanced: these are just a few of the words you could use to describe the extraordinary voice of early-music soprano Dorothee Mields." - The Georgia Straight
