Fire and Ice: New Compositions Inspired by Vittoria Aleotti
Sat Apr 10 · 4pm, Emmanuel Church (Boston) / Sun Apr 11 · 4pm, Grace Episcopal Church (Newton)
Following its first composition competition last season, Cappella Clausura premieres five new works by young composers, each inspired by the madrigals of Vittoria Aleotti, the Ferrarese composer whose Ghirlanda de madrigali appeared in 1593. Aleotti’s own madrigals frame the new pieces. The ensemble, devoted to music by women, won the 2017 Alice Parker/ASCAP Award for adventurous programming. The Sunday performance moves to Grace Episcopal Church in Newton.
