NEXT PERFORMANCE

  • Sacred Hearts, Secret Music with SARAH DUNANT
    St Bartholomew's Church, Brighton
    Brighton Festival Fringe
    3 May, 2010. 8pm.

Musica Secreta (co-directors Deborah Roberts and Laurie Stras) brings together some of the finest solo and ensemble singers and continuo players in the world to perform an exciting and newly emerging repertoire; music for female vocal ensemble. We present programmes that illustrate the many faces of women musicians in the 16th and 17th centuries: courtiers, courtesans and even cloistered nuns.

Sacred Hearts, Secret Music is our new CD, the result of a collaboration with novelist Sarah Dunant. See the London Literature Festival blog for a report of the book launch with Musica Secreta and Celestial Sirens fully nunned up.

Workshops for Choirs
An experienced and internationally respected choral conductor and coach, Deborah is available for workshops with choirs and ensembles - both mixed-voice and all-female - who wish to explore the rich (and vast) repertoire of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
