Event description
Leading the 2023 Braidwood Concert Series Summer/Autumn program is Women by Women, presented by Limestone Consort: a concert of music by female Baroque composers, performed by female musicians. A special treat and according to Rob Kennedy the Canberra reviewer, 'a gem' of a performance: "Concerts of music entirely by female composers are all too rare, but this one having all-female performers as well, also provide why we need more of them."
This is the first performance in Braidwood by Limestone Consort since 2019 and it promises to be a wonderful welcome return. The Consort players include Lauren Davis, leader and violin; Greta Claringbould, soprano; Robyn Mellor, recorder; Clara Teniswood, cello and Ariana Odermatt, harpsichord. The women composers include Barbara Strozzi (1619-1677), Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre (1665-1729), Isabella Leonarda (1620-1704) and Anna Amalia von Preussen (1723-1787).
