WASHINGTON NATIONAL CATHEDRAL: Enchanting Voices - Music of Barbara Strozzi & Francesca Caccini

Sunday, October 25, 2020 | 6:00pm

Join the Cathedral for an evening of soothing music for troubled times.

The Canzonetta Duo – soprano Elissa Edwards and Richard Kolb on the archlute and theorbo – invite you to explore the works of Barbara Strozzi and Francesca, two of the most remarkable female composers of the 17th century.

It’s a chance to step away from the strain of daily life and immerse yourself in another time when two women shattered the musical norms and expectations of their generation. Each ticket includes a backstage pass to a community conversation with the artists after the show.

Tickets are available on a pay-as-you-can basis.
