Tickets £20

Performers holding their instruments

Galliarda’s concert highlights the music and performing traditions of female musicians in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries at a time when women were finding a voice as both composers, singers and keyboard players. This innovative programme, presented with support from the Continuo Foundation and Diane Lambache, introduces sonatas and songs from various noble courts in Italy, England, France and Germany. Educated at the Ospedale in Venice and privately with composers Gluck and Geminiani, composers Anna Bonn, Ann Ford, Elisabetta da Gambarini, Wilhelmine von Preußen and Marie Antoinette are featured alongside new works by Jenni Pinnock and Rebecca Rowe.
