“Sappho begins with a sweet apple and ends in infinite hunger.” (From “Eros the Bittersweet”, by Anne Carson)

Too often throughout history, we’ve seen women’s love and desire depicted through a male gaze, while authentic expressions of love and desire by women in art have been considered taboo. Cappella Clausura challenges this by centering the voices of women and gender non-binary composers in this program on the topic of love in all its forms.

Featuring music by Evelin Seppar, Modesta Bor, Rafaella Aleotti, Hildegard von Bingen, and others.
