Immerse yourself in a unique musical experience with "Hildegard Transfigured: A Medieval Trance for the 21st Century with Voice Trio," presented by the London Symphony Orchestra at LSO St Luke's. This captivating event is set to take place on Tuesday, 17th September 2024, at 8:30 pm, offering an evening that bridges the centuries through the power of music.

The program promises an enchanting blend of compositions, featuring the works of Hildegard von Bingen, Marcus Davidson, Laura Moody, and more. The Voice Trio, comprising Victoria Couper (soprano), Clemmie Franks (mezzo-soprano), and Emily Burn (soprano), will lead the audience through a journey that explores the ethereal and transcendent qualities of Hildegard's music. Their performance will include antiphons from "The Harmony of the Symphony of Celestial Revelations," alongside captivating miniatures that set Hildegard’s own words to music by Laura Moody.

This event is not just a concert but a multisensory experience. The trio's repertoire extends from medieval pilgrim songs to contemporary compositions, enriched by the collaboration with artist Innerstrings. Expect to be mesmerized by 60s-style liquid visuals and sound-reactive elaborations that mimic the intense visions Hildegard experienced, which she described as "the living light."

Tickets are priced at £22.50 and £25, with a £1.50 booking fee for online or phone transactions. For more information and to secure your spot at this not-to-be-missed event, please visit the Barbican website.
