O FLORES FEMINAE

Our program, O Flores Feminae, explores the often-overlooked contributions of female composers, poets, and patrons in the Middle Ages. Featuring sacred and secular works from various composers and codexes such as Hildegard von Bingen, the Comtessa de Dia, and the Las Huelgas Codex, the repertoire highlights women’s voices, both as creators and subjects, in a male-dominated musical landscape. Through chant, troubadour songs, and polyphony, we celebrate their artistry, spirituality, and resilience, offering a fresh perspective on medieval music as a space for female and non-binary expression.
