  More than any other artists, Trio Mediaeval have popularized the music of 12th century composer, mystic, and philosopher Hildegard von Bingen, so it is fitting for them to devote most of this program to her music. The powerhouse trio of women has consistently shattered the ceilings of multiple musical genres, and has performed at contemporary and early music festivals, major concert halls, and jazz venues. "They blend seamlessly, yet their voices are distinctive enough that it's easy to hear individual vocal lines and how they relate" (San Francisco Classical Voice). They'll be joined by Hurdy-Gurdy player Kevin C. Devine for this performance.

Trio Mediaeval is a Grammy(R)-nominated vocal trio devoted largely to medieval and folk repertory. However, it has also sung a substantial portion of contemporary works by such composers as Ivan Moody and Gavin Bryars. Consisting of three sopranos, the trio typically sings a cappella or with very sparing instrumental accompaniment. When performing sacred repertory, which is the largest portion of its recorded output, it usually sings without accompaniment, providing its own harmonies or singing in unison.

Kevin C. Devine performs engaging, often unconventional programs in his home base of New York and across the United States. Mr. Devine obtained degrees from Boston University and Stony Brook University, and most recently, received a graduate diploma at the Juilliard School.
