War & Peace ~ Music in the Time of the Thirty Years’ War

Vita Wallace & Claire Smith Bermingham ~ violins
Lawrence Lipnik & Dan McCarthy ~ tenor viols
Patricia Ann Neely ~ bass viol
Richard Kolb ~ theorbo

From 1618 to 1648 the Germanic region waged a complex series of wars. During this period German composers managed to find inspiration in Italy, Spain, and France, and fused adopted musical styles with their own — implying or expressing directly the challenges to survive in and around geographic areas under siege. Eyewitness accounts will be read in between sets.

Abendmusik focuses programming on the rich exchange of musical ideas between countries and cultures. This includes themes such as the British influence on North Germany, the Italian influence on German and East European cultures, and the unearthing of composers of color and their contributions to culture in their European country of residence.
