Sun. Jan. 23 at 12 p.m. and Wed. Jan. 26 at 7 p.m. on 90.5 & STREAMING | An hour exploring the work by various female composers of the Baroque era.

The Ann Arbor Grail Singers perform a madrigal by Madalena Casulana. The MSU alumnae of Mirabai feature works by Sulpita Cesis & Chiara Margarita Cozzolani, and the late-bloomer who helps prove it is never too late to start something, Isabella Leonarda, who began composing when she was over 50 years old.
