The Secret Lover
March 8, 2018
Festival Casals
San Juan, Puerto Rico
At a time when women were forced into subservient roles, unforgettably sensuous and expressive music was written by 17th-century singer-composer Barbara Strozzi and her contemporaries. Her cantatas and stunning trio for women’s voices showcase her genius for setting text and her boundless melodic invention. The “florid, poised performers” (The New York Times) of TENET will perform solos, duos and trios, as well as songs and instrumental music by other great composers working in Venice.
