About the event
In the late 16th century, the chronicles of historians and travelers in Italy provide images of a fabulous musical world inhabited by women – singers, players and composers. One of the most musically renowned convents was San Vito in Ferrara. The Concert Mistress was Raphaella Aleotti, the first nun to have music published. The concert will include motets by Aleotti and Palestrina’s massive Missa Confitebor tibi.
