This program presents music by Italian 18th century women composers working at the courts of Frederick the Great in Prussia and the House of Habsburg in Austria. These powerful monarchies sponsored both salon and stage, where passions ran high and the best musicians were hired.

The harpsichord concerto in G minor by Frederick the Great’s sister Wilhelmine of Prussia and the Divertimento and soprano aria Astra coeli iam intonate by Anna Bon are pitted in our concert against the Habsburg-sponsored Camilla de Rossi, with excerpts from her oratorio Santa Beatrice d’Este, and Maria Teresa Agnesi’s harpsichord concerto and excerpts from her opera Ulisse in Campania. We conclude with an aria by Maria Antonia Walpurgis from her opera Il trionfo della fedeltà.

Ensamble:

Lina Sarmiento, soprano

Daniela Tosic, mezzo-soprano

Fausto Miro, tenor

Danilo Bonina, violin

Amelia Sie, violin

Hanbyeol Lee, harpsichord

Nathaniel Chase, bass

Laury Gutierrez, viola da gamba
