The Oregonian Features “They Are At Rest”

The Oregonian interviews Cappella Romana executive director Mark Powell for a feature on our They Are At Rest series:

Cappella Romana appears to be the only professional artistic organization in Portland giving a performance commemorating the 100th anniversary of World War I’s end.

“This is the right thing for us to do,” Mark Powell, Cappella Romana’s executive director, said. “The poetry and the texts in these pieces really cause one to reflect on the reality of war and what the real cost is. We’ve (become) very desensitized, I think, particularly with technology and drone warfare and all these things.”
