Since 2008 the women of Tibertina Ensemble from Prague have mesmerized European audiences singing medieval repertory, secular and sacred, while playing their own harp accompaniment. They make their North American debut bringing hymns, antiphons, conducti, and sequences by the famous Hildegard of Bingen, 12th-century abbess, mystic, writer, and composer. Hildegard’s music is highly individual, often elaborate and melismatic. The program opens with an antiphon, O rubor sanguinis, and ends with antiphons praising the Virgin Mary.

Corpus Christi Catholic Church.

Tiburtina Ensemble specialize in plainchant and medieval polyphony, as well as contemporary music. For their San Diego debut, Tiburtina—whose members include San Diego favorite soprano Hana Blažíková—will devote an entire program to Hildegard of Bingen (c. 1098-1179)—the Benedictine abbess, preacher, philosopher, physician, composer, and mystic who arguably ranks as the first “Great Composer.”
