About

This exploration of song takes you through four centuries of magnificent music. This panoramic program includes music by Barbara Strozzi, Fanny Hensel, Alma Mahler, Kaija Saariaho and co-curator Anne Cawrse.

The recital will be followed by a discussion with soprano Kate Macfarlane and co-curator Anna Goldsworthy, as they consider female composers writing for the female voice. They also explore the pivotal role the composer Barbara Strozzi played in 17th-century Venetian musical life.
