Her Music: Five Centuries of Music by Women Composers
Featuring award-winning Brazilian soprano Gabriella Di Laccio - founder of the groundbreaking charity Donne: Women in Music and one of the BBC’s 100 most influential women of the world in 2018 - Audacium Baroque Ensemble specialises in music from the 17th and 18th centuries with a focus on works by lesser-known (but equally interesting and significant!) women composers.
For this concert the group presents a wonderfully varied selection of works for soprano and continuo as well as solo harpsichord/voice/guitar, bringing to life over 500 years of neglected music by women composers from the 17th century to the present day.
