LE CONCERT DE L’HOSTEL DIEU in Collégiale Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul Abbey church

Many women composers adorn XVIIIth Century Italy. Some, such as Isabella Leonarda, completed their musical education in a convent; others entirely embraced their will to become a professionnal composer, and so did Barbara Strozzi, a symbol of the musical genius of Venice born 400 years ago, or Antonia Bembo, and Fancesca Caccini, born in cultivated families which supported their design.
