Pacific Musicworks presents Wayward Sisters
The Italian 17th century gave birth to many groups of highly skilled sopranos – and composers vied with each other to write for them. Choreographer Anna Mansbridge has reimagined these creations as fully theatrical events, pairing four sopranos with three female dancers and our PMW chamber ensemble. The diverse musical landscape includes works by 17th-century masters Rossi, Mazzocchi, and Monteverdi, as well as Doubleheart, composed by renowned Seattle-based conductor/composer Karen P. Thomas, and the world premiere of Stephen Stubbs’ setting of the missing Baccante scene at the end of Monteverdi’s Orfeo. Truly a feast for the eyes and ears!
