Vivaldi and Women’s Voices Chorus – From Venice to North Carolina
Women’s Voices Chorus is excited to announce that we received a grant from the WCPE Education Fund to partially fund the production of a short documentary film about our Winter 2013
Impromptu concert in St. Marks Square, Venice
performance of Antonio Vivaldi’s Gloria in D. Vivaldi composed his Gloria for the girls and women of the Ospedale della Pietà, a convent, orphanage, and music school in Venice, Italy. Today it’s rare to hear an all-female performance of the Gloria, since not all women’s groups can provide the wide vocal range of the original Ospedale choir’s female tenors and basses. In our “Gloria et Pax” concert, accompanied by a baroque orchestra, we gave an authentic performance similar to what might have been heard in Venice 300 years ago.

The WCPE grant helped us produce a documentary about this performance, including footage from our rehearsals and concerts as well as interviews with our artistic director and chorus members.
The documentary and a full video recording of our Gloria performance are freely available online to audiences worldwide.
The documentary and concert are also are available on DVD for a small fee at our online store! Proceeds will cover other expenses incurred in the making of the film.
WCPE is a listener-supported classical music radio station based in central North Carolina. Its Education Fund supports classical music education opportunities and educational outreach. We are proud that it chose to help fund a project that will broaden understanding of Vivaldi’s music and female vocal music in general.
