Among the most interesting female musical personalities of the Italian seicento, Bárbara Strozzi shines with a very special light. He was born and lived in Venice and, between 1644 and 1664, published seven collections of music for voice and instruments. These compositions, highly virtuosic, seem to suit the author's own vocal characteristics.
The program for this concert alternates light compositions, almost canzonette, often in a humorous tone, as well as sadder and more complex pieces, to conclude with the cantata Hor che Apollo.
