Leonora Duarte (1610-1678): Consorts by Women
Duarte's extant work, seven Sinfonias in five parts, has never been performed live in its entirety until now. The performance will shed light on a previously under-researched thread of music history: that of the cultural accomplishments of women marrano in early modern Europe. Like many educated women in the baroque world, Duarte came from an established family of patrons interested in supporting the work of artists and musicians. Her interactions with a vibrant, urban community cultivated by her father, Gaspar Duarte, empowered her to navigate the waters of social diplomacy while influencing the production of new music. We hope that a fresh and elegant live performance of Duarte will both contribute to our knowledge of music by women in the seventeenth-century domestic sphere, and help illuminate the complex and symbiotic relationship between Duarte and her male contemporaries, some of whom we will also play, among them the Elizabethan composer, John Bull (1562/31628), likely her tutor, as well as Alfonso Ferrabosco I (15431688), and John Jenkins (15921678).
