Une femme | due donne | a woman showcases some of the highlights of the trio sonata repertoire written by women composers during the Baroque period. Featuring familiar names including Jacquet de La Guerre and Leonarda, this program also brings to light works by lesser-known composers Marieta Prioli and an English composer known only by her pseudonym “Mrs. Philarmonica”.

Founded in 2022, La forza delle stelle | Baroque Orchestra is a period instrument orchestra based in Montclair, New Jersey. In addition to playing orchestral repertoire from the Baroque period, members of La forza delle stelle also branch-out to plumb the depths of the Baroque chamber repertoire, with a focus on bringing to light unknown and underperformed works.
