Experience the realm of the spiritual and divine with three visionary composers exploring the deepest questions about life and death. From Hildegard von Bingen, 12th-century German abbess, mystic, and composer, we will hear O Virtus Sapientiae, a work that transcends time with its beauty and deep spirituality. In Symphonie Mathis der Maler, Paul Hindemith explores the life of German Renaissance painter Matthias Grünewald, whose masterpiece Isenheim Altarpiece is considered one of the most poignant and moving depictions of the Crucifixion in religious art. And in Fauré’s Requiem, we hear a composer’s personal reflection on life and death-one that offers peace instead of fear.
