Works by Bingen, Bonn, Caccini, Jacquet de La Guerre, Leonarda and Sokolović.

Turning the spotlight towards female composers of yesterday and today! Les Plaisirs du Clavecin offers an entiere a programme of works by women composers from the Baroque to the present, performed by an ensemble of female musicians on period instruments. In this overview of this surprisingly rich repertoire, pride of place is reserved for Sokolović’s divertimento and its modern take on an old musical genre.
