Though women were not always encouraged to compose music, they were often highly schooled and virtuoso performers. This program will feature 18th-century compositions inspired by and written for women — whether powerful monarchs or cultured private citizens — including pieces by Johann Christian Bach, Jean-Marie Leclair, Christoph Schaffrath, and Domenico Scarlatti.
