Iberian and Latin American Keyboard Compilations Online
Patricia Garcia Gil United StatesVlogart Facebook page, 909 Magnolia Street, Greensboro
This is the third of a series of three mini leture recitals, published during the Early Music Month with the aim of shedding light to the importance of women from varied social spheres who collected keyboard music and/or transcribed manuscripts in Iberia and Latin America in the 18th century, which serve nowadays as a source for understanding the cultural transfer that occurred between the two continents. I will present musical selections performed on historical keyboards from the following compilations: the library of the Portuguese-Spanish Queen Maria Barbara; the manuscript owned by a Chilean black woman slave known as “Libro Sesto de Maria Antonia Palacios”; and the compilation named “Quaderno Mayner” for the use of Sra. Maria Guadalupe Mayner from Mexico, of unknown origin.

Into the Melting Pot: stories of women, their plaintive songs and Spanish medieval music in Spain 1492 Online
The Telling United Kingdom168 Percy Road, Twickenham, London
★★★★ "an inspiring, affirming and powerful piece of writing (and my favourite so far of The Telling’s work)"

The film adaption of the concertplay (where music and theatre collide) written by Clare Norburn and directed by BAFTA-nominated Nicholas Renton.
LouReviews, Louise Penn October 2022
The film adaption of the concertplay (where music and theatre collide) written by Clare Norburn and directed by BAFTA-nominated Nicholas Renton.
Spain, 1492. At twilight on her final night in Seville, a Jewish woman, played by Suzanne Ahmet (@sohoplace, The King’s Head Theatre, Chester Storyhouse), lights the lamps. She is being forced to leave Spain and set sail for an uncertain future. Her story echoes down the ages to the personal stories of people affected by politics and war today. She tunes into voices of a community of Jewish, Christian and Muslim women from across the Spanish peninsula.
Down the centuries, women’s stories of integration, love, the rich cultural heritage of the Spanish peninsula and racial intolerance are played out to a soundtrack of plaintive Sephardic songs and lively medieval music performed by The Telling. Be transported back to 15th-century Seville!

A never-ending art: "Lemniscate" - The Art of Fugue Online
New Collegium NetherlandsWestvest 90, Schiedam
For the 2023 Early Music Day, New Collegium releases a new and final video of its latest CD, "Lemniscate".
Surrounded by a certain air of mystery and revered as a relic, The Art of Fugue is roundly praised for its complex, mathematical nature. However, these works are also movingly lyrical, and deserve to be enjoyed for their pure beauty, just as one enjoys the rhythms and sounds in the words of a poem, regardless of form and sometimes even meaning. Following the last version of J.S. Bach's autograph manuscript, New Collegium champions in "Lemniscate" the reconciliation and celebration of all these aspects, bringing to the fore both the cerebral brilliance as well as the emotive intensity of this iconic masterpiece, allowing it to be both light and profound. The rich instrumentation of woodwinds, brass, strings and harpsichord allows for expressive characters to be exaggerated, hints at other musical styles, and paints diverse atmospheres, infusing fantasy and life into these twenty fugues and canons.

On stage is an original dramaturgy by Antonio Piccolo, who also signs the production's direction, with a cast featuring soprano Marie Lys, actors from the Compagnia Teatro in Fabula, and the Talenti Vulcanici directed by Stefano Demicheli.
"During the 18th century, the capital of southern Italy welcomed a large number of 'foreign' composers," points out musicologist Paologiovanni Maione, "who came here to perfect their 'craft' but above all to learn the secrets of a superfine art that had enslaved the whole of Europe. Artists, such as Johann Adolf Hasse, Christoph Willibald Gluck, Johann Christian Bach, Josef Mysliveček, Joseph Schuster, Vicente Martín y Soler among many others, landed in the capital in search of a 'Neapolitan' identity capable of guaranteeing access to the great international musical centres.
It is precisely selected works by these composers that make up the programme of Antonio Piccolo's performance in music, intended to show the 'many' voices that fuelled the city's cultural and musical scene at the time.

Speaking Baroque Flute, a panel conversation on articulation Online
The Traverso Practice Net ItalyFrancesco, Via Pomponia Grecina 10, Rome
The subject of articulation is without doubt one of the most distinctive features in baroque flute playing. Just like a verbal language, the ability to speak through the instrument and through the music is the key for an expressive musical performance. In this ZOOM session, baroque flute specialists Lisete Bull, Enrico Coden, and Teddie Hwang will touch on different aspects of this multi-faceted subject, from understanding Hotteterre and the meaning of articulation to how to approach tonguing in difficult keys. As you will see, there is a whole universe about articulation and we hope you'll walk away with much inspiration and curiosity after the session!
