Renowned male composers and lesser-known female composers take turns in this thought-provoking program by Angelica. Alongside pieces by Marenzio, Monteverdi, Scarlatti, you will hear music by Francesca Caccini, Maddelena Casulana, Leonora d’Este, and others. Despite living in a musical world historically dominated by men, these women overcame obstacles to create music of substance that today is becoming more recognized.
