✨Save the date for "La Primavera: A Night of Renaissance Music, Myth, and Philosophy", Palinode’s first public workshop-performance project in Portland.

📍The event will take place on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at 7:30pm at the Historic Alberta House.

🌺Built around Botticelli’s Primavera, the evening brings together live Renaissance and early Baroque music, mythic storytelling, projected image, and short philosophical interludes. Guided by Hermes, the performance moves through the painting as a living map of the soul: from separation and longing to beauty, remembrance, and renewal.
