Virtuoso works by composers overlooked by the history books. Featuring two up-and-coming young violin stars, Kailey Richards and Erin James, this program showcases solo concertos and chamber works by composers whom historians have typically overlooked due to their sex or ethnicity. Rezonance will perform violin concertos by Joseph Bologne and Maddalena Sirmen. Bologne—often known by the sobriquet of Chevalier de Saint-Georges—was a Black violinist and composer from the Caribbean French colony of Guadeloupe; his music reflects his skill as a violinist and his larger-than-life exploits. Maddalena Sirmen, meanwhile, successfully fought to become a professional violinist when the field was exclusively dominated by men. Together, music by Sirmen and Bologne serves to paint a more vivid and inclusive picture of the Baroque period and its musicians. The program will also include virtuosic chamber works by Isabella Leonarda, Elizabeth-Claude Jacquet de la Guerre, and others.
