Laurel Irene, “astounding…downright superhuman” (LA Times) vocalist, brings a collection of Hildegard’s chants to life, illuminating her unique relationship with nature and the human spirit. Staging, live electronics, and novel instrumentation including The Great Organs at FCCLA creates sonic textures that enfold Hildegard’s ecstatic mysticism. “The Mystic’s Vision” draws its structure from Hildegard’s scientific writings in which she explores quadral structures to explain the interconnectedness of humans with nature and the cosmos. Irene and collaborator David Harris create an intimate performance space where ritual-driven staging intuits connections between Hildegard’s music and poetry and her scientific understanding of creation. The performance is part sonic meditation and part electricity for the ears all wrapped in some of history’s most enticing melodies and poetic expressions.
