The Baroque music ensemble presents a project that reclaims the artistic legacy of historically overlooked female composers and writers. Through a carefully curated programme, FIC audiences are invited to experience the depth, virtuosity, and sensitivity of Baroque art created by women. Works by Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Anna Isabella Leonarda, Barbara Strozzi, Anna Lucia Bon, and Maria Margherita Grimani, interwoven with the poetry of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, bring to life a repertoire that deserves to be heard and recognised.
Far from being exceptions, these women were key figures in their time, yet were sidelined by historical narratives that failed to do them justice. This project revives music of the highest quality and invites us to question and expand our understanding of the musical past.
