Backstage Pass with Pegasus Early Music

Deborah Fox and Pegasus Early Music join host Julia Figueras for a look at Barbara Strozzi’s Venice on Backstage Pass Friday, September 23, 2016 at 1 p.m. on Classical 91.5. Strozzi was the most prolific composer in mid-17th century Venice—a time when the music of women composers was rarely heard in performance halls. Pegasus Early Music will showcase her unique passionate voice along with music of her male contemporaries. Tune in for a mix of sacred, secular, vocal and instrumental music by Strozzi, Cavalli, Castello, and others.

Backstage Pass is a monthly live performance program that gives listeners the backstage experience of meeting local and visiting artists “up close and personal.” This episode will repeat Sunday, September 25 at 1 p.m. on Classical 91.5.
