What can music tell us about the soul of a civilization? How have the sounds of Europe evolved alongside its revolutions, philosophies, and cultural movements? In this edition of European History Through Art, Nico—a French artist passionate about storytelling through culture—invites you to journey through the ages by exploring music not just as sound, but as a mirror of European identity.

We’ll look at how music shaped and was shaped by key historical moments, from the grandeur of baroque concert halls to the rebellious energy of romantic symphonies. We’ll explore the societal role of opera houses, the symbolism of music in classical paintings, and listen to powerful musical excerpts that still echo today. This is more than a history lesson—it’s a smart, immersive conversation about art, expression, and the European mind across the centuries.

音乐，能看见一整个文明的灵魂吗？从宫廷到街头，从教堂到歌剧院，欧洲的旋律也曾伴随一次次革命、思想浪潮和文化运动不断演变。这一场艺术与历史的跨界之旅，将由来自法国、热爱用文化讲故事的艺术家Nico带你展开——一起听音乐，也读欧洲。

我们会聊聊那些决定性历史时刻里的声音，比如巴洛克音乐的华丽背后，是怎样的社会秩序？而浪漫主义时期的音乐，又如何承载起反叛和情绪？我们还会看看音乐在油画中的象征意义，探讨歌剧院在不同时代的文化角色，甚至一起聆听一些穿越时间依旧令人震撼的音乐片段。

这不只是堂历史课，更是一场沉浸式的艺术对谈：我们聊艺术，也聊情绪；聊旋律，也聊人心；在音符之间，找回那个多面复杂的“欧洲精神”。
