The Consort of Melbourne: The Heart is Burning
July 8, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The Heart is Burning
Lost love songs of Maddalena Casulana
I want to show the world the vain error of men that they alone possess the gifts of intellect and artistry
Maddalena Casulana (c. 1544–1590) – first woman composer ever to appear in print. Come and hear The Consort of Melbourne perform her newly discovered five-part madrigals in the beautiful acoustic of the Wyselaskie Yuma auditorium, Parkville.
