Come explore the deeper roots of our historical era via “the long view” as we hear nature-focused European music from the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, combined with poetry from our own era addressing this time of climate change.
If “there was something back there” 500 years ago to realize and unpack, what might that be? For just as Europe was growing more and fascinated with the natural world, as well as expanding the range of its musical capacities, it was also sending ships around the globe to claim new territories, establish colonies, bring back slaves, and extract untold resources from the lands they conquered.
From all the “points of contact” in between came this world we live in now. The TEMPEST performance, by blending poetry, music and history, offers us a mirror for not only looking backwards, but at the same time, inward… and toward the future as well.

This performance is FREE and features The Early Interval, Ohio poets, and both musicians and poets from Grandview High School.
