Add to my Calendar 24-08-2024 14:00 24-08-2024 16:00 36 From Ferrara with love, with Musicke in the Ayre Musicke in the Ayre return to the magical gardens of Iford Manor with a concert of early baroque music from Italy, the birthplace of opera. The Este court in Ferrara was the home of the first-ever all-female ensemble of professional musicans, the "Concerto delle donne", whose fame and virtuousity inspired the repertoire that their programme draws on - this includes works by Monteverdi, Frescobaldi, Rossi, Caccini (Francesca) and Strozzi. Their team of three sopranos (Maria Danishvar, Philippa Neaverson and Jane Hunt) together with Din Ghani with his archlute and baroque guitar are looking forward to sharing this glorious music with you in the fabulous Italian Cloisters.
