Join us for the first day in this two-part conference, Women in Art and Music, hosted jointly by the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art and The Juilliard School in New York.

About Sonnambula
Praised as "superb" by the The New Yorker, Sonnambula is a historically informed ensemble that brings to light unknown music for early instruments with the lush sound of the viol at the core. Sonnambula recently held the position of Ensemble in Residence at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the group curated a site-specific series at The Cloisters. Sonnambula has also worked closely with The Hispanic Society in New York, designing concerts featuring little-known female composers and American premieres of both 18th-century Cuban sacred music and Spanish zarzuela. The ensemble's award-winning recording of 17th-century composer Leonora Duarte was released on Centaur Records.
