Cappella Clausura

Cappella Clausura

Female Country Ensemble

Based in Newton, MA

An ensemble of voices and early music instruments in Boston whose goal is to research and bring to light works written by women from the 8th century to the present day.

Cappella Clausura's name honors the extraordinary body of music written by cloistered nuns of 17th century Italy who, in the language of the time, were said to be "in clausura:" covered, hidden away, segregated from public life. These gifted and musically educated individuals-such as Raffaella Aleotti, Chiara Cozzolani, Bianca Maria Meda, Caterina Assandra and Sulpitia Cesis-became our first historical community of recognized women composers. Cappella Clausura has performed and recorded their music with dedication, and will continue to do so. And we take the name "Clausura" as a metaphor for the cultural obstacles faced by women composers throughout history.
