It was at the Grafenegg Festival 2012 when Christina Pluhar and her ensemble L’Arpeggiata were last guests in the Auditorium and worked their public into storms of delight. The Early Music specialist from Graz returns for a matinee with a programme that strays from the beaten path: «Wonder Women», with music by and about women. Christina Pluhar’s magnificent own arrangements tell stories that are witty and melancholic, dramatic and reflective, but always female-dominated. The programme combines traditional music from South America and Italy with works by Baroque composers such as Barbara Strozzi and Francesca Caccini, told by extraordinary, strong, brave and special women.
