The Festival de Bach à Bacchus features a concert with the Solistes de Cappella Mediterranea and soprano Mariana Flores on 6 July 2026 at Église Saint-Nicolas in Meursault. The programme highlights the works of four prominent female composers from the 17th century: Francesca Caccini, Margarita Cozzolani, Barbara Strozzi, and Antonia Bembo. Their compositions illustrate the evolution of accompanied monody and its rich expressive language typical of the early Seicento. With a light instrumentation of soprano, two lutes, and viola da gamba, the concert emphasizes the vocal line as a primary expression vehicle, supported by a nuanced basso continuo.
