THE CONCERT
OF LADIES
THE COMCERT OF LADIES is a unique phenomenon in the HISTORY of MUSIC. It is a small point on the wave of musical history where the resonant ENERGY of an era that opens into a NEW CENTURY is concentrated. It is not merely an event confined to the habits of a small circle within a RENAISSENCE court but rather a "trend" that evolved into a "genre," comparable to the English revolution in ROCK music!

The Concert of Ladies is revolutionary. It is the precursor to a cultural movement of feminist nature. In the Concert of Ladies, philosophical themes, musical ideas, poetry, and dance intertwine and merge. It is no coincidence that it originated in one of the most refined and extraordinary courts of the time, only to multiply and take root in all the courts of Europe, in a development that would span the century and end only in the early 1700s. The Concert of Ladies, as conceived, imagined, and dreamed by us, is therefore not just a concert but a spectacle of the eternal Baroque imagination, where music blends with dance, poetry, scenography, and theatrical lighting.
“Due to its psychosomatic dimension, its deep connection with the poetics of emotions, humors, the physics of elements, and the philosophy of symbolic images embodied in sound figures and Gesture, the madrigale fin de siècle is the most fascinating chapter in the entire history of music.” (Brenno Boccadoro)
