A week of classical music

Ensemble Gamut! highlights female figures from the early Middle Ages in its Easter Thursday concert, Mother Earth. The program includes songs from the  Bridgettine order, the earliest Finnish music about Virgin Mary, and the profound and virtuosic melodies of the medieval mystic Hildegard of Bingen.
