Program "Mrs. Philharmonic”
Few of the female Baroque composers who existed are known and
played today. History and the historians have made their music
almost forgotten. Over time, women's composing has become more
made visible. We present here four of these composers.
In 1715, 12 Trio Sonatas were published in London under the pseudonym Mrs.
Philharmonic. The composer was most likely female and
well educated. The social conventions of the time made it difficult
to find someone who wanted to publish a woman's work if you didn't
belonged to the upper class. The sonatas are the only ones that have been published by
her.
Isabella Leonarda (1620-1704) spent her life largely on
the Collegio di Sant'Orsola monastery in Novara. Only at the age of 50
she began to compose more regularly. She was very productive and
wrote almost 200 works. In Novara, she was highly valued
composer but in the rest of Italy she was unknown.
Anna Bon di Venezia (1738-after 1767) was a composer, singer and
harpsichordist. Born into a musical family, she began her education when she
spent four years at the Ospedale della Pietà, the famous school where Antonio
Vivaldi taught. In 1756, she and her parents were employed by
Friedrich von Brandenburg-Bayreuth. Anna Bon di Venezia published
here his flute sonatas at the age of 16. In 1762 the family was employed at
the Esterházy court in Eisenstadt where Anna and her mother sang in Joseph
Haydn's ensemble.
Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre (1665-1729) was raised in a
musician family. Already at the age of 5, she plays the harpsichord for Louis XIV.
At the age of 15, she became a court musician. She left the court in 1684 and married
himself but continued to work as a musician. She is the first woman in
France who composes an opera and was famous for his contemporaries.
The audience gets a unique opportunity to hear genuine baroque works in the way the music was composed and intended to be performed. The young group has one
fantastic interplay and enthusiasm and a wonderfully nerdy feel to
the details of the music.
The concert is sponsored in collaboration with NorrlandsOperan, the Church of Sweden,
Baroque and Beyond and Nordmaling's Music and Theater Association. Part of the Riksteatern.
