Barbara Strozzi remains one of the most intriguing figures in the early Baroque, and her music is some of the most expressive, particularly in its exploration of dissonance and harmony as powerful devices to express her texts. Tesserae presents an intimate concert featuring two singers and a continuo team of lute and harpsichord in the magnificent Pompeiian Room at the Doheny Mansion at Mt. St. Mary’s University. Tesserae is thrilled to be able to expose Strozzi’s powerful music to students at the Mount, one of the important women’s universities in the United States.
