Event Details/Summary
This program features a miscellany of pieces from the vast, multi-cultural tradition of music inspired by the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Mary Magdalene. In the early Church, both saints were venerated within specific sanctoral feasts of the liturgical year, and throughout the Middle Ages a variety of paraliturgical prayers and music influenced by these liturgies also evolved. This recital draws upon this devotional realm, exploring many different regions and time periods across Europe through the perspective of the two Marys.
