Musicke in the Ayre

Programme Note


Musicke in the Ayre bring this highly popular programme to Lauderdale House for its first London outing.

With works from 17th century Ferrara, Florence, Venice and Versailles for up to three female voices, this programme has delighted audiences from Bath and Frome in the Southwest up to Leeds and York in the Northeast. The performers pay homage to the Concerto delle donne, the famed singing ladies of Ferrara who started a trend for all-female ensembles in the courts of Northern Italy around the end of the 16th century (which also found its way to France).
