Vivaldi's Women (Schola Pietatis Antonio Vivaldi) Details
Vivaldi's Women is an all-female ensemble of singers and players founded in 2005, initially to research and make programmes for BBC television and radio about Vivaldi's life and work at the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice. It also performs, records and produces editions of music by Vivaldi and his colleagues. Vivaldi's Women aims to recreate the sound of the Figlie di Choro, foundling girls and women who performed at Mass and Vespers hidden from view behind grilles in the high choir galleries. It reflects the age range (14-70) and musical tradition of the original musicians, some singing tenor and bass (at pitch), and others playing forgotten instruments, recreating an exotic soundscape of 18th-century Venice. Its work is based on the findings of Vivaldi historian Micky White, which give us a comprehensive picture of the daily life of this remarkable institution during its musical heyday.
