1001 Hildegard  

Medieval culture inspired concert-performance “1001 Hildegard” is based on the works of the 12th century composer and mystic Hildegard of Bingen (1098 – 1179) whose texts describe the structure of the World, the search for the way of life, death and renewal. Gaining the influence of the medieval Arabic treatise “Picatrix” and experiments of the first known woman alchemist of the Western world, Mary the Jewess (around 1st.-3rd c.), the ”1001 Hildegard” program combines Eastern and Western wisdom about the restoration of the World Harmony.
