Join us for a tribute to renowned seventeenth-century Italian composer and singer Barbara Strozzi, featuring a book conversation and musical performances. Two new publications explore Strozzi’s legacy: the historical verse novel "The Siren and the Star" (2025) by critically acclaimed author Colby Cedar Smith and the forthcoming volume "Barbara Strozzi in Context," edited by Wendy Heller, Scheide Professor of Music History, with Beth Glixon. Hear from Smith and Heller on the artist’s enduring legacy, and enjoy performances of Strozzi’s compositions performed by members of Early Music Princeton (Wendy Young, director).
Introduced and moderated by Caroline Harris, Diane W. and James E. Burke Senior Associate Director for Education. Q&A with Heller and Smith, as well as a book signing with Smith to follow.
Free and open to the public; no tickets required.
