In 1598, the music publisher Giacomo Vincenti praised the young women of the famous concerto delle donne, established by Duke Alfonso II of Ferrara as virtuose giovani. This program showcases music composed by Luzzasco Luzzaschi and Giulio Caccini for the ladies of the concerto delle donne, as well as the musica secreta of Ferrara at the turn of the 17th century by Girolamo Frescobaldi and Carlo Gesualdo. We will also present music by their teacher Cipriana da Rore as well as composers such as Claudio Monteverdi and Luigi Rossi, whose diminution style was influenced by Ferrara's court.

Sarah Bellott (soprano), Kateri Chambers (flute), Dylan Sauerwald (virginal), with Stephanie Kacoyanis (contralto).
