Anacronía pays a lively tribute to Mariana Martínez: a wrongly forgotten composer, harpsichordist and singer from 18th century Vienna. As the child of a wealthy family and daughter of the papal nuncio, Mariana led a life full of privilege and opportunity, artistically and otherwise. This energetic performance offers a taste of the vibrant musical soirées at the Michaelerhaus in Vienna, where Martínez was born and many great names in music came to visit, including her mentor Metastasio, Nicola Porpora and Franz Joseph Haydn. With work by Mariana’s illustrious guests and a symphony of her own, Anacronía promises thrilling fusion, fiery characters, a hint of old-school Baroque and pure pleasure for the ears!
