Baroque chamber music exploring ways women have been pathologized as 'mad' for having completely human experiences.
About this Event

Throughout history, the normal and natural emotional lives of women have been pathologized as “madness.” Soprano soloist Emily Klassen collaborates with Rezonance to bring us a program in which each piece takes on a particular aspect of a woman’s inner life, presenting it to the audience for contemplation in the historical context, and perhaps so that we may find resonance with it in our own lives. Works by G.F. Handel, Barbara Strozzi, Antonio Sartorio, and more.

Rezonance Baroque Ensemble is one of the most exciting groups on Toronto’s classical music scene. Unafraid of improvisation and experimenting with new concert formats, and already known for giving captivating performances that resonate with today’s audiences, Rezonance is one of the foremost chamber music interpreters in Toronto. Inspired by history and informed by the present, Rezonance leads audiences through the discovery of under-appreciated and unusual works, and new ways of hearing the classics, in a manner that is intimate, accessible, and fun, while maintaining the highest possible artistry.
