NYC: HILDEGARD OF BINGEN AND THE LIVING LIGHT PREMIERS
International mezzo soprano Linn Maxwell will present "Hildegard of Bingen and the Living Light" at THE LITTLE CHURCH AROUND THE CORNER - Church of the Transfiguration (1 East 29th Street, NYC). This is a new one-woman play with music about the 12th century German Abbess Hildegard of Bingen, the first known woman composer in history 1098-1179 AD. Hildegard returns after nine hundred years to bring us her timeless message of hope, healing, and Veriditas - nature's green life force. Linn combines her spirituality and her life-long commitment to music and drama to portray this amazing woman. Linn performs seven of the seventy-five songs that Hildegard composed, accompanying herself on Medieval harp, tenor and soprano psalteries, and organistrum. "Hildegard of Bingen and the Living Light" will be performed on Friday & Saturday nights at 8:00 pm from April 9th through 24th.
