Hildegard Commission Concert 2026
Calendar
About this event
The Hildegard Commission Concert returns with groundbreaking premieres from our four winners, today’s most exciting rising composers—che buford, Lva Blma, Fjóla Evans, and Maria-Eduarda Mendes Martin—along with works from our four brilliant finalists. The namesake of our commission, 12th-century mystic Hildegard von Bingen, used vivid, intricate miniature drawings in her prophetic books to bring complex spiritual visions to life. For this year’s commission, our winners have composed music that directly responds to a distinct illustration from Hildegard's codices. These historic images will be brought to life through dynamic animations and projections from a visionary visual designer, transforming the performance space into an interactive ecosystem of sight and sound. Step into a multi-sensory, immersive environment inspired by the extraordinary legacy of the 12th-century mystic Hildegard von Bingen.
