Hildegard of Bingen Evening Worship

Evening worship featuring the music of Hildegard von Bingen. Please join us for this lively service full of percussion, and both modern and ancient instruments for a contemporary interpretation of these medieval compositions by our music director James Hopkins and members of Alkemie. Hildegard von Bingen was a 12th Century nun, mystic, botanist, composer and visual artist. Hildegard’s writings about nature, medicine, and theology continue to fascinate 21st-century readers, and her music continues to captivate 21st-century audiences. The service features modern interpretations of these medieval works with voices, pipe organ, percussion, medieval harp and winds, and synthesizers. It is co-sponsored by the EDNY Young Adult Network.
