of lust? We don't blame you. In fact, we offer an entire concert in
lighthearted tribute to the seven famous foibles of humanity. Mining material
from the Renaissance and Baroque, we've selected works that describe
the temptations and frustrations that have plagued us from the beginning.
Celebrate Halloween with works by Purcell, Dowland, and that old master of wrath and pride, George Frideric Handel. We won't tell anyone
that your purse is full of candy....

Secret Music: Rediscovering the Baroque Virtuosa

Admission: $15 general, students FREE with valid ID from any institution (no children under seven, please)Something revolutionary happened
in seventeenth-century Ferrara, Italy. The ladies in waiting of
Duchess Margherita Gonzaga, selected for musical talent rather than high
birth, sang with electrifying virtuosity. Soon this "secret music"
gained fame as the Singing Ladies of Ferrara broke barriers of what it meant to
be a female performer. Featuring rarely-performed works written for these
virtuosas, our concert celebrates women composers and performers of
Baroque Italy, including works by Barbara Strozzi, Bianca Maria Meda,
and Isabella Leonarda.
