Musical treasures by 17^th century women composers come to Durham

Sacred music by Italian women composers will be featured in a concert by the ensemble POMODORO (Tamsin Simmill, mezzo-soprano; Michael Albert and Gesa Kordes, baroque violins; Barbara Krumdieck, baroque ‘cello; and Henry Lebedinsky, organ) on Saturday February 9 at 7:30 PM, in First Presbyterian Church, corner of Main + Roxboro, downtown Durham. The program includes the Southeast regional premières of works by Isabella Leonarda, Maria Peruchona, Lucrezia Vizzana, and Barbara Strozzi for voice, strings, and organ. Unjustly ignored for centuries, the works of baroque women composers are only recently being reintroduced to audiences. 17^th century women had very limited opportunities as musicians and composers, and most, with the notable exception of Strozzi – a virtuoso singer from a wealthy family – lived in convents. Behind the convent walls, however, a rich musical tradition flourished, as evidenced by numerous published collections of mostly sacred music by nun composers.

POMODORO brings this music to life through powerful, inspired performance. Made up of five international-level early music specialists, the ensemble breathes a new spirit into old music, making it accessible and meaningful to today’s audiences.

Admission is by ticket at the door, with $15 for general admission, $10 for students and seniors. For more information, please call (704) 654-6997
