Inedite (Clarinet, Violin, Cello)

Pioneering Female Composers

The INEDITE project aims to rediscover and honour female composers who not only excelled as artists, but also played important roles in their societies and historical contexts. In a time of great gender inequality, these women broke social and cultural conventions, making a lasting impact on music history.
The title INEDITE emphasises the rarity of the works presented, which are often neglected or forgotten, but which show extraordinary beauty and relevance. The programme consists of compositions by female pioneers such as Hënriette Bosmans, Claude Arrieu, Anna Bon, Elsa Barraine, Maddalena Sirmen, Viteslava Kapralova, Barbara Strozzi and Isabella Leonarda, who challenged their time and left a lasting legacy in music and cultural history.
Programme

Isabella Leonarda: Trio Sonata
Henriette Bosmans: Arietta
Maddalena Laura Sirmen: Trio
Elsa Barraine: Serenade
Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre: Le passage de la Mer Rouge
Barbara Strozzi: Arietta
Antonia Bembo: Te Deum
Claude Arrieu: Trio in UT
Viteslava Kapralova: Trio

@

The Lendvay Ensemble, which takes its name from its founder, the renowned Hungarian violinist József Lendvay, will present works by unknown female composers. Among the pioneering female composers from various countries and periods, the names of Barbara Strozzi and Isabella Leonarda are mentioned first. They both lived in 17th-century Italy, one as a composer of secular songs, the other with an oeuvre encompassing nearly every religious genre of her time: motets, psalms, magnificats, and masses. Antonia Bembo and Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre were their contemporaries.
Maddalena Laura Sirmen, born Lombardini, famous as a composer, singer, and violinist, was also Italian but lived a century later. Pioneers of the 20th century include the Dutch Henriette Bosmans (who, thankfully, is increasingly heard) and the French composer Elsa Jacqueline Barraine. The latter is considered one of the most outstanding French composers of the 1950s. Yet, her music is rarely performed today. The same can be said of the works of composer and teacher Claude Arrieu and the Czech composer and conductor Viteslava Kapralova.It’s wonderful that we can now hear the compositions of these pioneers!

The Easter event takes place during Holy Week and is dedicated to reflection, mourning, and hope. Music is interspersed with brief commentaries and moments of silence. Visitors are invited to reflect on loss and recovery in their own way.
● Description: A subdued Easter concert during the special period of Holy Week, with reflection, stillness, and hope as central themes. The music reflects the inner process of mourning, reflection, and expectation.

Additionally, excerpts from the St John Passion and works by composers such as Gabriel Fauré, Boris Lyatoshinsky, and Maurice Ravel will be performed.

Lebenslied at Rozenlust

Lebenslied (Song of Life)
Musical Resistance in Europe
The concert we present is a tribute to culture as an instrument of resistance against totalitarian regimes, which, before suppressing civil and political rights, attack freedom of expression by using culture as a means of propaganda. Music, art and literature become the first ideological battlefield, with works and artists persecuted and labeled as “degenerate” if they do not conform to the ideals of the regime. In this context, the female and male composers of the cultural resistance have shown courage and determination, fighting for freedom.
Eighty years after liberation and the Mauthausen Oaths (16 May), the concert pays tribute to these artists and to the victims of the Nazi-fascist regime, including Jews, Roma and Sinti, through a programme that combines music with historical narratives. Each composition is introduced by a story that contextualises its history and struggle, creating a “red thread” that connects Italy to the rest of Europe. The concert celebrates music not only as a testimony to the past, but also as an act of living resistance and hope.
The project is presented in two formats: a full performance of 1 hour and 30 minutes, in which each piece is introduced by a historical introduction, and a series of musical intermezzos enriching institutional and cultural events, with key pieces interspersed with short, contextual introductions.
Our shared experience, which began in Rotterdam, has united us in the search and performance of these works, continuing an idea of ​​cultural resistance through music. Each performance thus becomes not only an act of commemoration, but a living testimony of those who fought for freedom. In this concert we also pay tribute to the Jews, Roma and Sinti, who were victims of deportation and persecution under the Nazi-fascist regime.

Louis Durey, French composer and resistance fighter:Trio
Hans Gal, Hungarian Jewish composer: Serenade
