The entire history of art has seen women as the main source of its inspiration, a privileged object of interest. More seldom, and for many reasons that we already know, women have been the subject of an artistic creation. The program of this concert wants to give voice to the rare women that in between almost two centuries, had the will, courage and generosity of giving their inner world to music, poetry, art, to leave a message in a bottle to an ideal receiver, beyond a world that is still today too deaf and restrictive. REBECCA CLARKE (Harrow England, 1886-New York City,1979),one the finest violists of the early XXth century, was also a wonderful composer with more of 90 compositions which are considered masterpieces , performed and recorded worldwide. VITEZSLAVA KAPRALOVA ( Brno 1915-Monpellier 1940) produced a remarkable output of works even if she died at the age of 25.The Kapralova Society works to make her Symphonic and Chamber Compositions known to the world, and to let people know the life of a young woman musician and composer who decided to stay in exile in France. “Ritornel” for cello and piano is one of the two-pieces set entitled “Deux Ritournelles” opus 25.One of the two Ritornels survives thanks to the pianist Herman Grab, who brought his copy to United States. Originally, both pieces were to be given their first performance in Paris on May 29th 1940, but, due to the rapidly escalating international events, the concert had to be cancelled and it was premiered later that year in London First woman conducting the main American symphonic orchestras ,teacher of composers like Copland, Glass, very important composer herself, NADIA BOULANGER (1883-1979),lived 93 years for music. She was a kind of bridge between 1800 and 1900,between the old and great European romantic tradition and the new artistic languages coming from America. Open-minded towards a comparison of different cultures, she mixed her personal experiences with life, arts and people………”Sight reading is like life. The most important purpose is to come from the beginning and to go to the end. Never stop. Never stop life. Continue, even with a mistake……” ADA NEGRI’s works (1870-1945) both in prose and poetry, are more known. Poetry was less exclusively a man world and she was a passionate voice, deeply expressive with her words. She has a link with the rare women that from the antiquity marked the history of arts and poetry. Living in the exasperated world of “Scapigliatura lombarda”, her expression was anyway intimate, but not less overwhelming. Like D’Annunnzio, she wrote words for some Lieder by Tosti and Respighi, in a fusion of arts that remarks, with different languages, the deep human feelings. The enthusiasm and popularity that follow PIAZZOLLA’s music, are much more than a musicological discover. With Piazzolla, the city of Buenos Aires has risen to a metaphor of the human condition, always nostalgic of a lost identity, betrayed, passionate and sensual, but able to rise in a spiritual prayer. Like Maria de Buenos Aires, that ideally turns from prostitute to angel-woman and that embodies all the different faces of the female world that nobody has really never been able to capture and express.
