Baroque & Unknown: Night One (Featuring The Boulanger Initiative)

Where are the women composers in classical music? How can we find, celebrate, and uplift them? Join us on Thursday, October 3rd, for the kick-off of the Baroque & Unknown series, featuring Kathryn Radakovich, Learning and Development Director of The Boulanger Initiative, as we explore these crucial questions. Our evening experience will transport you to 15th Century Italy, highlighting the music and lives of two remarkable composers: Vittoria Raffaella Aleotti (1575-1620) and Francesca Caccini (1587-1640). You’ll learn about Aleotti’s life as a renowned nun and conductor, and Caccini’s pioneering career at the Medici court as the first Italian woman to compose an opera. Five Women of The Central Coast Chamber Choir will perform these composers’ works in an intimate, salon-style setting. Plus, enjoy paired food and beverage tastings from Uncle Nearest and Chic Charcuterique as we immerse ourselves in the unknown. *Seating is limited.
