Cappella Clausura: Sacred Music by Women Composers
Sunday, March 28, 2010, 4:30 pm First Baptist Church, 190 Main St., Brattleboro
In honor of Women's History Month, and in collaboration with WFF and "Visions" art show, Cappella Clausura will present a program benefiting the local Women's Crisis Center. Cappella Clausura is a women's vocal ensemble of music professionals from the Boston area. Their Brattleboro program includes works by contemporary composers Patricia Van Ness and Hilary Tann, as well as Hildegard von Bingen from the early 1100s, late Renaissance composers Sulpitia Cesis and Raphaella Aleotti, and Baroque composers Chiara Cozzolani (whose five-movement Messa Paschale is threaded throughout) and Orsina Vizzana. Some pieces will include accompaniment on portative organ, viola da gamba, and theorbo (a lute-like instrument).
Tickets: $18, including a $5 donation to the Women's Crisis Center. This event is supported in part by a New England States Touring grant from the New England Foundation for the Arts, as well as a $500 "challenge grant" from composer Patsy Rogers, a former Brattleboro-area resident and supporting member of Friends of Music.
There will be a preconcert lecture by composer Hilary Tann. For further information on the Tann presentation and the concert, call: 802-254-3600, or go to www.fomag.org.
