Vox Feminae

Les Kapsber'girls is a vocal and instrumental ensemble founded in 2015 by lutenist Albane Imbs. The name of baroque composer Giovanni Girolamo Kapsberger serves to some extent as a guide, but is not dogmatically followed in the programmes. The ensemble has already successfully focused on Italian and French repertoire and dedicates its third album to selected female baroque composers. Hidden talents, undiscovered destinies - only a few of these female composers have had the opportunity to reveal their art, which is nonetheless very real. Recent research has made it possible to breathe new life into the fascinating works of Barbara Strozzi (1619-1677), Isabella Leonarda (1620-1704), Lucia Quinciani (1566-1611), Francesca Caccini (1587-1641), Antonia Bembo (ca. 1643-1715) and Francesca Campana (ca. 1615-c. 1665), who composed no fewer than two hundred works. Les Kapsber'girls make these treasures audible.
