Medieval Women in Song: celebrates women in medieval music as composers, icons, and narrators. With sacred and secular songs from across Europe, Voice Trio’s programme features the beautiful chant of St Hildegard of Bingen, medieval songs about the ever-popular holy maiden St Mary, ‘laude’ (praise songs), and songs exploring secular subjects of desire, sisterhood, and unattainable love. This music continues to inspire today, and the trio will perform new works by contemporary female composers whose compositions are influenced by these medieval women.

Pre-concert talk: Professor Elizabeth Gemmill will give a short talk about Medieval women inspired by the divine.
