Palazzetto Bru Zane pays no mind to fads. They have been working on music composed by women ever since they opened business in Venice in 2009. Part of their research and rediscoveries has been included in a programme dedicated to women who, for different reasons, didn’t keep their place or were never included in the repertoire of theatres and concert seasons. Palazzetto Bru Zane’s programme, Compositrici!, will run from April 1 to May 11, and is the story of the lives of women who followed their passion for music.
Opening concert on Saturday, April 1 at Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista, to be followed on April 2 by a date at Palazzetto
