Step into the vibrant world of 18th-century Vienna through the music of a contemporary of Haydn and Mozart, Marianne Martinez, a celebrated composer, keyboardist, and salonnière. At the center of this program is a modern premiere of the newly discovered Keyboard Concerto in E major and the vivid La Tempesta, works that reflect her command of both elegance and drama.
Also featured are works by Mozart and CPE Bach, music that captures the intimate musical culture that flourished in Martinez’ salon—where Haydn, Metastasio, and even Mozart were regular guests.

In 17th-century Italy, the boundaries between sacred and secular, tenderness and torment, lullaby and lament were fluid and profoundly intertwined. This program explores that fragile threshold—where comfort meets sorrow, and the cradle foreshadows the cross—through the voices of women who composed in an era when their artistic expression was often constrained.
Featuring music by Barbara Strozzi, Merula, Antonio Bembo, and Isabella Leonarda, this concert honors the voices of early female composers alongside their male contemporaries
