First-time guests at South Somerset Music Centre, The Portrait Players bring a dynamic programme of songs, duets and instrumental works focussing on women composers of 17th century Italy. The trio, founded in January 2023, has quickly established a busy concert schedule across the UK.
The Portrait Players are an all-female trio presenting ‘wonderfully woven’ programmes inspired by people and their experiences in history.
- Claire Ward (soprano),
- Kristiina Watt (theorbo/lute/voice), and
- Miriam Nohl (cello/viola da gamba).
Featuring composers such as Barbara Strozzi, Isabella Leonarda and Francesca Caccini, The Portrait Players explore the roles these women played in music making and society, in the home, the court and the church.
