The visionary music of the Sibyl of the Rhine
In short: Experience the haunting melodies of Hildegard of Bingen, the first woman composer recorded in the Western tradition, performed by Catherine King.
This performance explores the work of Hildegard of Bingen, a German Benedictine abbess and pioneer. Known as 'The Sibyl of the Rhine,' her legacy extends far beyond music; she was a prophet and visionary who authored practical texts covering subjects from theology and the arts to botany, medicine, and biology.
The presentation is part of the Gresham College lecture series, an institution that has provided free public lectures since 1597.
