Portland Baroque Orchestra presents a program of love, loss, and everything in between. Soprano Arwen Myers and theorbo player John Lenti bring to life 400-year-old Italian songs that transcend time. Featuring works by Barbara Strozzi, Monteverdi, and others, the performance is an exploration of love, humanity, and our connection to one another.
