PROGRAM

"A Meeting of Minds: Jacquet de la Guerre and Leonarda" presents a dialogue between two remarkable composers of the Baroque era. This program highlights the contrast between Élisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre’s elegant, courtly keyboard works and Isabella Leonarda’s sacred polyphonic vocal music, transcribed for keyboard by Justin Luchinski. Their distinct voices come together in a journey through refined dance movements, brilliant complexity, and spiritual intensity, showcasing both the diversity and the harmony in their musical legacies.
