Almost 400 years ago, Amsterdam and Antwerp entered a Golden Age of art and music whose beauty still resonates today. Following the perspectives of three young women (a recorder virtuoso, a composer and a publisher), More than Muses presents a unique soundscape of this cultural flourishing. There is no evidence of a direct meeting between the three women. However, they moved in similar circles and there is evidence that they had common acquaintances. The main common denominator in their biographies is and remains music. Adriana, Madeleine and Leonora are representative of those whose biographies and music have yet to be fully discovered. All three of them contributed considerably to the cultural flourishing of the 17th century – they truly were more than muses.
