llustrious and Incomparable: The extraordinary woman of the Baroque is the third concert in the Orchestral Series and will be performed on Sunday 18 June at 3.00pm in Elder Hall, Adelaide University with acclaimed soloist Kate MacFarlane, soprano and including a new commission by Adelaide-based composer and multidisciplinary artist Georgina Bowden. The concert is a celebration of female Baroque composers, featuring music by Francesca Caccini, Barbara Strozzi, Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre and Isabella Leonarda all of whom were acclaimed, renowned and innovative. Their music was part of an evolution, each composer being the first woman to achieve distinction in her field, whether writing for the court or the convent.
Feedback/Comments
Highly professional. Absolutely enjoyed it
An unforgettable performance. Absolutely loved it
A marvellous collection of dedicated musicians did a terrific job in presenting works from a little-known part of musical history in playing music composed by the extremely talented female composers of the era. Excellent performances from the singer, as well as from the instrumentalists.
superb performances
Great show that matched beautifully with the amazing venue. The musicians and soloists were fantastic. Loved the old instruments. Only issue was that the venue did not have my name on the list, so was awkward trying to get in to the show.
Loved this
