Hildegard of Bingen, AKA Saint Hildegard and Sibyl of the Rhine was a 12th Century German Benedictine abbess, composer, writer, philosopher, Christian mystic, visionary and polymath. She is considered to be the founder of scientific natural history in Germany.
Vocatrix was formed by musical medievalists in 2015 to perform Hildegard von Bingen's musical morality play Ordo Virtutum. This unique group of virtuosos strives to interpret historical culture and find resonance in the new world, priding itself on friendship and teamwork while pursuing themes of inspiration and sisterhood. VOCATRIX has shared Hildegard's immersive music with curious audiences who are familiar with her work, as well as those who are new to it.
