Works by Vizzana and Cozzolani

Every year in late August, the renowned Early Music Festival takes place in the Dutch city of Utrecht. It is the world's largest festival focused on early music, attracting an audience of over 70 thousand visitors. Due to the corona pandemic, the 2020 edition of the festival took place in an alternative form, offering an alternative program that included live concerts as well as daily livestreams of concerts and archive recordings. As part of this festival edition, Duo Serenissima - made up of Elisabeth Hetherington (soprano) and David Mackor (archlute) - presents rarely performed music of Lucrezia Orsina Vizzana and Chiara Margarita Cozzolani, two 17th-century Italian nuns. This concert was recorded at St. Gertrude's Chapel in Utrecht on August 26, 2020.
