Description: In a tour-de-force performance, international mezzo soprano Linn Maxwell transports us back to medieval Europe to meet German writer, composer, healer and prophet Hildegard of Bingen in this captivating one-woman show. Throughout her life of devotion, Hildegard experienced visions from God that called her to express herself through her many talents and assume a role of leadership inside the church - one that challenged the male-dominated establishment and moved some to silence her. Accompanying herself on authentic medieval instruments, Linn performs Hildegard's original songs and, through the mystic's actual writings, embodies the life and passion of an extraordinary woman who lived centuries ahead of her time. -- from box

Description

In a tour-de-force performance, internationally acclaimed mezzo soprano Linn Maxwell transports us back to medieval Europe to meet Hildegard of Bingen, a prophet, healer, composer, and mystical writer. This medieval nun was widely known in her own day and is even more so, today: In October 2012, the Catholic Church made her a Saint as well as a Doctor of the Church, 800 years after her death.
