Name: Freeing the Muse - Fieri Consort
Start: 2026-05-30T18:00:00+01:00
Location: Lady St Mary Church, Wareham

We’re delighted to welcome Fieri back for an evening of exquisite music – and especially excited that our own Music Director, Hannah Ely, will be performing as part of the ensemble.
Exploring Renaissance ideas of female beauty as shaped by women themselves, this programme brings together music by female composers Casulana, Aleotti and Caccini, with works by Luzzaschi, de Wert and de Rore, forged in close dialogue with exceptional female singers, whose virtuosity transformed the sound of late 16th-century Italy. Here the ‘muse’ is not a silent ideal but an active presence, inspiring innovation through collaboration. Fieri celebrates the boldness and artistic authority of women whose individual voices resound throughout this remarkable repertoire.
