Join Adelaide soprano favourite Emma Horwood with harpsichordist Anne Whelan for a lunch time concert celebrating love and the coming of spring. Discover Barbara Strozzi's rarely performed L'Astratto, a dramatic and funny cantata in which a distracted lover finds solace in music, air de cour by Lambert and Clérambault's sumptuous "L'Amour Piqué", in which Cupid is stung by a bee! The program will also feature the SA premiere of Scarlatti's rare cantata "Libertà del mio Cor", an edition by Australian harpsichordist and scholar Dr Rosalind Hatlon, in this 300th anniversary of the composer's death. Don't miss the delicacy and grace of Anne's harpsichord with Emma's pure and expressive voice in the stunning surrounds and acoustic of the intimate North Adelaide Baroque Hall.
