One of the outstanding features of Italian music and theatre culture in the late 16th and 17th centuries was the rise of the female virtuosa, or skilled singer, actress and performer. In some cases virtuose became stars on the public or court stage, but they equally attracted intense criticism and bans. This event presents music by some of the early virtuose singers, poets and composers, and explores contexts, protagonists and musical features. It brings new research perspectives by focusing on private, intellectual circles like academies, which were characteristic of this period and the setting of often less documented, but experimental performances and voices

Trust and control:
How can regulators build trust in relationships dominated by control?
For many people inspection and accountability are about control and often control based on distrust, looking for errors that need to be corrected. In this perspective there is no room for trust in accountability and inspection relationships. Yet, trust is important in these relationships if accountability and inspection are to lead to behavioural change in schools and improved learning outcomes. So how can we overcome this dilemma? This seminar will address the intricate relation between trust and accountability. Three speakers will address the topic from various viewpoints, discussing how to define and measure trust in education systems, how regulators can build trust into relationships that are dominated by control, and the cultural context of how we understand trust.
