…a feather on the breath of God - VOICE

German medieval abbess Hildegard of Bingen (1098 – 1179) was a great spiritual leader, theologian, mystic, scientist, and composer, whose influence continues to resonate today. This special programme for Oxford Festival of the Arts celebrates the ancient setting of Bartlemas Chapel in the 900th anniversary of its founding in 1126 by Henry I with a programme of original medieval works by Hildegard, and contemporary music inspired by her.
