Ex Femina III Barbara Strozzi
Overview
A cycle of early music performances dedicated to women who left their imprint on musical creation and practice.
The performance is based on the cogitations of Accademia degli Unisoni in the late 1630s Venice, in particular on a real dialectical contest between Matteo Dandolo and Giovanni Francesco Loredano over the surest way to incite love: a face that is crying or one singing. Barbara Strozzi (1619-1677), “the muse of Parnassus” according to Gian Vincenzo Imperiale (1635), was the one who presented and elaborated the arguments of the two men by reciting and singing.
