A Woman’s Voice in Bach’s World: Christiane Mariane von Ziegler
August 5 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm PDT
$24 – $75
Early Music Vancouver Summer Festival
Christiane Mariane von Ziegler was anything but anonymous in the city of Leipzig. One of Germany’s preeminent poets, she was also one of its most outspoken advocates for women’s access to a public voice. From 1725 to 1740, she vigorously defended women’s rights to improved education and literary enterprise. She was also one of J.S. Bach’s esteemed librettists and a rare woman’s voice in the Lutheran liturgy. This programme celebrates the two Leipzig artists’ short but fruitful creative partnership.
Artists: Krisztina Szabo, mezzo-soprano; Philippe Gagné, tenor; Sumner Thompson, baritone, with the Pacific Baroque Orchestra directed by Alexander Weimann
