Described by The Guardian as “mesmerising,” Vision is a collaborative piece of concert-theatre that sheds light on the 12th century Benedictine nun and polymath Hildegard of Bingen – illuminating her extraordinary life through her words and music. Hildegard (1098-1179) is a fascinating character: a writer, composer, philosopher, medical practitioner, mystic and visionary. The Telling explore her life and times through words and music including her hymns and antiphons from Symphonia armoniae celestium revelationum.
