Parthenope is the name of the siren with the virgin voice, who washed ashore in Naples according to legend. Under Parthenope’s guidance, Catalina Vicens explores the age old association between femininity and musicality in early works for harpsichord and virginal. Kindled by phantasy and empathy she travels from 16th century Italy to 17th century England and back.
A production of MAfestival, presented in collaboration with Concertgebouw Brugge
