Hard copy of our book arrived!

And it’s live! We read every book published in Italy in 1501 looking for references to music, and this is the first volume on what we found. Thanks to @sheffielduni.bsky.social and @leverhulme.ac.uk, it’s free to read, though you can buy hard copies too www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.116...

A week after launching the final stage of fundraising for our first album, & we’re almost there! Help bring the Venetian stage back to life in a new approach to recording the music of Cavalli, Strozzi & their contemporaries www.musicaantica.org.uk/support-our-... #opera #classicalmusic #earlymusic

Loads of fun (and a completely full house) doing Rameau’s Les Incas Du Perou with @musicaantica.bsky.social on Saturday. Can’t be many trios in western music that manage to get in a love duet, rage aria and erupting volcano all at once! #se16 #earlymusic

We’re adding an oratorio not performed since 1669 to the seasonal mix of music on offer next month! Poster courtesy of Durer (with a lot of editing…) #earlymodern #earlymusic #classicalmusic #opera #lent #baroque #se16 #rotherhithe

Excited to learn from an email today that @musicaantica.bsky.social will be recording their first album later this year.
