Ensemble Correspondances

Hidden women 
Hidden behind the pages of music encyclopaedias are thousands of unknown muses and female musicians who lured composers into writing beautiful works. In Renaissance Ferrara, the Duke deliberately kept the songs of his 'Concerto delle donne' away from the printing presses. Vivaldi's Ospedale women did play for audiences but went down in music history anonymously, as did the singers for whom French stars like Boësset and Clérambault created bespoke works. Sébastien Daucé  breaks open the vault in which these gems remained hidden for centuries.
