During the 17th century, women composers were most often either nuns educated in convents or the daughters of
musical families such as Florence’s Caccini clan. The works presented in this concert come from both the secular and
sacred worlds of 17th-century Italy, written for celebration in the cloister and private devotion in the home. This music
abounds with all the inventiveness, refinement, and energy of the age of Monteverdi. Directed by Alexander Weimann
and featuring Nadine Balbiesi, Lieselot De Wilde, Myriam Leblanc, Jane Long, and Ellen Torrie (sopranos); Liz Hamel,
Emma Parkinson, Vicki St. Pierre, and Krisztina Szabo (altos); along with members of Elektra Women’s Choir and EMV
Festival Players.
