part of Otley Baroque May Festival (3rd to 5th May)

Join us for an illuminating hour-long lecture with musicologist Dr. Bryan White (University of Leeds), as he delves into lives and legacies of female musicians in the Baroque era.

Discover the extraordinary stories and compositions of Barbara Strozzi and Isabella Leonarda, two trailblazers who defied societal norms to pursue their art.

This insightful talk serves as the perfect prelude to our main concert on Sunday, celebrating these exceptional women and their contributions to the world of Baroque music.
