Musica Universalis is an early-music ensemble based in Portland, Oregon. The band plays mostly music of medieval Europe, with occasional time-traveling excursions to the more recent past. With an eclectic variety of projects including concerts, plays, dances, and even puppet shows, the group is equally at home on stage, in front of the stage, at the party, and in the tavern.
“Those who are able to see this brilliance are beyond blessed.” – Joe Cantrell

Musica Universalis is teaming up with 21ten Theatre (Ted Rooney), plus acclaimed actors Briana Ratterman and Jonathan Cullen to bring you some good ol’ holiday cheer.
The evening will be filled with stories and song. Lots of feel good moments and some that tug on the heartstrings. Musica Universalis will be dishing up their brand of medieval inspired renditions of songs old and new. And of course, because there has to be… the evening will include a little audience participation!
