Voices of Music
“Concerto delle Donne: the secret choir of women virtuoso singers at the court of Ferrara,” featuring Music of Luzzasco Luzzaschi, Luca Marenzio, Claudio Monteverdi and Barbara Strozzi. Join Voices of Music for a concert of virtuoso Italian vocal music of the late Renaissance and early baroque. The Concerto delle Donne was created as part of the musica secreta (private court music) of Ferrara in the years just following the marriage of Alfonso II d’Este and Margherita Gonzaga in 1579. Many prominent composers in Italy—among them Luzzasco Luzzaschi, and Luca Marenzio—wrote works for these Ferrarese concerts. Duke Alfonso engaged notable poets to write the texts, including Torquato Tasso. Word of the incredible virtuosity and secret repertory sung by the Concerto delle Donne spread rapidly across Europe, and soon other female ensembles were created in Mantua and Florence. With Sophie Junker and Sherezade Panthaki, soprano; Elizabeth Blumenstock and Alana Youssefian, baroque violin; Elisabeth Reed, viola da gamba; Hanneke van Proosdij, recorder, harpsichord and organ; David Tayler, archlute and baroque guitar.
