zamus: early music festival | Symposium: Unsichtbare Frauen

In the organizer's words:

Lecture, panel discussion, concert and exhibition

Western music history was mainly written by men, with a few female exceptions: This year's symposium focuses on lesser-known female composers such as Antonia Padoani Bembo and Isabella Leonarda and aims to shed light on their lives and works. However, we not only want to shed light on important historical female figures, but also on the present and the influence, but also the difficulties of women in the early music scene. The symposium is being held in collaboration with the Royal Conservatoire of Brussels and GEDOK.
