Discover brilliant works by Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Barbara Strozzi, Mademoiselle Duval, Wilhelmine von Bayreuth, Maria Teresa Agnesi, Maria Margherita Grimani, and the enigmatic Mrs Philarmonica. Premiering a newly commissioned work by Métis composer Karen Sunabacka, this program celebrates dramatic and sublime music by women.
Our celebration of female perspective and talent extends into the 21st century with a newly commissioned work by Métis composer Karen Sunabacka, set to text by her mother, the Métis writer Joyce Clouston.
