Baltimore Chamber Music Society presents Musica Spira. Co-founded by Peabody alumni Dr. Paula Maust and Grace Srinivasan, Musica Spira (Music Breathes) brings the underrepresented stories of early modern women musicians to life through thought-provoking programs that shed light on women’s multifaceted contributions to music history. Grace and Paula combine scholarly research with innovative musical programming to create concert themes that “draw musical traditions of the past and present into renewed conversations about the importance of life and values” (The Wilson Center). Founded in 2016 and based in the Baltimore, MD-Washington, D.C. area, Musica Spira’s recent programs include “The Ugly Virtuosa,” “Forth From Her Pen,” and “An Extraordinary Innovation.” They have performed on concert series at the Indianapolis Early Music Festival, the Women Composers Festival at Strathmore Mansion, the Peabody Institute, the Folger Shakespeare Library, the Bloomington Early Music Festival, the Walters Art Museum, and the Society of Historically Informed Performance series in Boston.
