Women in Baroque music

Music written by and for women. Concerto Copenhagen takes you into women's stories and music from the Baroque and our time!

It's inevitable to note that the history of classical music is primarily dominated by male artists. This is mainly due to the fact that for long periods of time, it was absolutely inappropriate for women to appear as artists in public. Therefore, their music was often only performed in private spaces and known only to a closed circle.

But that doesn't mean that female artists haven't had a role and importance in the history of music! Even if they weren't always publicly recognized or remembered today, many of them, through their music and personalities, were instrumental in shaping the course of history.

Concerto Copenhagen and Annette Skov delve into the stories and music created by women and music written for women from the Baroque era to the present day.
