MORNING GLORY 4

The final Unsound Morning Glory series sees Ukrainian composer and musician Heinali return to the festival, teaming up with flautist and singer Yasia Saienko, with the premiere of a new work called Гільдеґарда (Hildegard), bringing the music of 12th century abbess, philosopher and mystic Hildegard von Bingen into a new era. Marrying Ukrainian folk singing and modular synthesis techniques, Гільдеґарда amplifies the paradoxical physicality of Hildegard's writing, using it as a mirror for contemporary events to reflect and process wartime experiences. Doors open at 10:30, and the concert starts at 11:00.

Гільдеґарда is commissioned by Unsound, CTM, Athens Epidaurus Festival / Subset, and GMEA – Centre Nationale de Création Musicale.
