Today, November 11, is the anniversary of Barbara Strozzi's death in 1677. We still don't know definitively why she was in Padova at that time -- although it was a center for medical science. She was said to have been buried at the Erimitani in Padova, though there is no longer any trace. The church suffered damage during World War II and many grave markers were lost.

The 10th Jurow International Harpsichord Competition will include, for its preliminary round, The Barbara Strozzi song "Tra le Speranze e'l Timore", Opus 2.15, for its continuo selection. This is so exciting to have harpsichordists show their skills using one of Strozzi's excellent short pieces!

The Historical Keyboard Society of North America (HKSNA) is pleased to announce the 10th Mae and Irving Jurow International Harpsichord Competition, to take place July 2-6, 2024 at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal, Montréal (Quebec), Canada. Harpsichordists under age 35 at the time of the competition are eligible to enter.

PRIZES
First Prize: $5000 (US); Second Prize: $2500 (US); Third Prize: $1500 (US); Jurow Prize: $750 (to be awarded to the most promising non-finalist). The first-prize winner will be invited by Clavecin en Concert to perform as soloist or featured harpsichordist in Montreal in 2025–2026.

JURY
Preliminary Round: Maria Luisa Baldassari (IT); Luc Beauséjour (CA); Leon Schelhase (ZA/US)
Semifinal and Final Rounds: Olivier Baumont (FR); Pieter-Jan Belder (NL); Elaine Funaro (US); Hank Knox (CA); Sonia Lee, chair (CA/US); Emlyn Ngai, ensemble music judge (US/CA)

The entry deadline is April 5, 2024 (preliminary qualification by video recording).

“Breaking the Bias,” an virtual concert inspired by this year’s theme of International Women’s Day, will feature works for chamber ensembles written by women composers. These composers and their works are representative of women overcoming gender-based discrimination in the field of classical music throughout history, from the 17th century to the present day. Presenter PROTESTRA will donate a portion of ticket proceeds to Girls for Gender Equity (GGE), a Brooklyn-based nonprofit celebrating their 20th anniversary this year. Include in the program is "Che si può fare? (What is one to do?)," an Italian aria by renowned Baroque composer Barbara Strozzi. The most-published composer of secular music in 17th-century Venice, Strozzi was highly respected for her work yet also the target of jealousy and slander from her male peers. The aria will be sung by mezzo soprano and PROTESTRA organizer Michaela Wright.

Breaking the Bias: A Concert for Women's History Month Activist orchestral ensemble PROTESTRA presents a virtual concert in honor of Women’s History Month.

Per la Giornata Internazionale della Donna celebriamo tre importanti compositrici barocche: la veneziana Barbara Strozzi (1619-1677), la parigina Élisabeth Claude Jacquet de La Guerre (1665- 1729) e la fiorentina Francesca Caccini (1587-1641). Pensiamo sia giunto il momento di celebrare il genio di queste compositrici e il Teatro San Cassiano farà di tutto per realizzarlo.
Buona Festa delle Donne dal Teatro San Cassiano!
