Episode Details

Chatham Baroque presents Czech a cappella ensemble Tiburtina for Celestial Harmony, a concert of music written by Hildegard von Bingen. Director and soprano, Barbora Kabátková, joined QED's Anna Singer from Prague to chat about the program.

Tiburtina is a group of female voices that specializes in interpreting Gregorian chant, Medieval polyphony, and contemporary music. They'll bring a program of music by a female composer, abbess Hildegard von Bingen. Barbora recounts her musical journey and attraction to early music. She tells Anna how she chose the repertoire for this concert and discusses Hildegard's situation writing in the twelfth century.

You can hear Tiburtina sing Hildegard von Bingen on Sunday, April 26th at 2:30pm at Calvary Episcopal Church. More information and tickets can be found on Chatham Baroque's website.
