This Beautiful Music is provided by Infusion Baroque from their well-crafted and informative series, virtuELLES. This episode features composer Maddalena Lombardini Sirmen who lived from 1745 until 1818. It’s a movement from her Duet #2 for Two Violins, op. 5, and in a feat of multi-tasking it is performed by violinist Sallynee Amawat. I also had the pleasure of interviewing Ms. Amawat, and there is a link below to our conversation.

Thank you for introducing this beautiful Baroque music! Among recent discussions on music by female composers, few mentioned about Maddalena Lombardini Sirmen. Hope more of her music can be performed in the future.
Thanks very much!
