Ad Mosam celebrates free will with music by Barbara Strozzi, Henry Du Mont, Giacomo Carissimi, Constantijn Huygens. Weren't topics like freedom of choice, diversity and gender also hot topics a few centuries ago? Looking at the idiosyncratic lives of Barbara Strozzi or Christine of Sweden, it would seem so.

Queen Christine, for instance, abdicated the Swedish throne at an early age. Travelling around Europe, she became an important patron of artists. Like the young Christine, discover some quirky female and male composers: influential through their way of life, through their extraordinary music and through the subjects that inspired them. With four vocal soloists and an extended continuo, Ad Mosam Baroque will take you to your next musical discovery.
