Medieval Women's Choir: Visions in the Cloister
$22
It is hard for us to imagine the intense spiritual life of the medieval cloister, where mystical visions were commonplace. “Sister Books,” collections of short biographies of the cloister’s former residents, were assembled to provide an example and inspiration for younger nuns; visions figure in many of the accounts and are often associated with particular pieces of music. Join the Medieval Women’s Choir as we explore the ecstatic inner lives of medieval nuns.
The concert features guest conductor Aaron Cain, frequent collaborator with early music ensembles such as Portland Baroque Orchestra, Cappella Romana, Musica Angelica, and the Cascade Consort. Soloists include Marian Siebert, soprano, Shulamit Kleinerman, vielle, and Bill McJohn, harp.
Admission: $22 advance; $25 door; $15 students.
