The outstanding female contingent of Schola Antiqua presents a concert of medieval and early modern music by and for women in the convent.

The performance is complemented by keyboard works also heard in convents, played by organist and guest director Naomi Gregory. Cora Swenson Lee joins the ensemble on viola da gamba.
