ALMA MAHLER SINFONIETTA

The Alma Mahler Sinfonietta, an ensemble for women musicians under Stefania Rinaldi, recalls in its name Alma Mahler, the wife of Gustav Mahler, a woman of intelligence, beauty and talent, and has the aim of promoting the music of women composers, breaking the apparent conspiracy of silence in this respect. With the help of musicians and artists such as the pianists Laura DeFusco and Francesco Nicolosi, and the composers Teresa Procaccini and Ada Gentile, the orchestra, since its establishment in 2003, has appeared at festivals in Ravello, the Villa Guariglia in Vietri, Mercogliano, Benevento, and elsewhere, presenting programmes in particular of music by women composers.
