Hildegard, a new musical in development, was presented as part of the Alumni Connections New Works Series. The musical in development spans the latter 40 years of the life of Hildegard von Bingen, a 12th-century abbess and someday-saint who was a composer, philosopher, visionary, and pre-Reformation reformer.The musical tells Hildegard’s story through her own music, remixed and reworked into modern pop arrangements.
