SUMMARY:WOMEN CLASSICAL COMPOSERS
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis program presents some of the best arias\, 
 trios\, and harpsichord concertos written by 18th-century women composers 
 from Italy and Germany who had significant connections to German-speaking 
 states.\n\nFrederick the Great of Prussia\, the flute-playing monarch\, ha
 d a sister called Wilhelmine who became an accomplished lutenist and compo
 ser and married the flute-playing Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth. Her ha
 rpsichord concerto still has the flavor of the empfindsam style develope
 d in Prussia. Anna Bon\, although born in Bologna\, was commissioned to wr
 ite some chamber divertimenti for the Margrave.\n\nMaria Antonia Walpurgis
  became Electress of Saxony\, then sang and played the harpsichord in her 
 own vocal works produced at the court in Dresden\, probably including the 
 aria we perform from her opera Talestri\, regina delle amazoni (Talestr
 i\, queen of the Amazons).\n\nThe Milan native Maria Teresa Agnesi was sp
 onsored by the Holy Roman Empress Maria Theresa\, although her opera Ulis
 se in Campania\, from which we present excerpts\, was premiered in Naples.
  We also perform a lovely harpsichord concerto which she likely wrote.\n\n
 Finally\, Camilla de Rossi seems to have been from Rome\, although all her
  oratorios were performed in Vienna. The aria which we are performing is 
 from the Oratorio Santa Beatrice d’Este\, commissioned by Emperor Joseph
  I.\n\nEnsamble:\n\nLina Sarmiento\, soprano\nDaniela Tosic\, mezzo-sopran
 o\nFausto Miro\, tenor\nDanilo Bonina\, violin\nAmelia Sie\, violin\nHanby
