A Midwinter Feast

Free

Performances at 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.

Celebrate the holidays with ModernMedieval Voices and a collection of seasonal music spanning the last 800 years. Vocalists Jacqueline Horner-Kwiatek, Martha Cluver, and Chloe Holgate perform medieval chants, carols, and traditional songs for Advent and Christmas from England, Ireland, and Wales. The trio also features chants celebrating the power of love and wisdom by Hildegard of Bingen, a medieval nun and mystic.

About ModernMedieval

ModernMedieval was created and is directed by Dr. Jacqueline Horner-Kwiatek, member of the world-renowned vocal quartet Anonymous 4, to explore the worlds of early and new music through lectures, workshops, masterclasses, and performances. ModernMedieval Voices is a project-based, all-female ensemble. Horner-Kwiatek is joined by early and new music specialists for concerts and special projects that combine medieval chant and harmonies with music from later eras, as well as new commissions influenced by the poetry and music from the Middle Ages.
