THE imagined testimony of the extraordinary medieval abbess Hildegard of Bingen and her mesmerising music is being portrayed in a concert/play TheTelling by Clare Norburn at Heath Street Baptist Church next Wednesday evening (February 27). It’s essentially a multi-media experience of light, song, music and story-telling and, knowing Norburn’s work, should be tremendously exciting.
