Probably not with your feet up listening to Hildegard of Bingen.<\/p>\n<p>That kind of celebration comes on Thursday evening 21 March at St Paul\u2019s Worthing\u00a0 . . . 7pm doors\/bar-caf\u00e9 \u00a0. . . 7.30pm concert-play about her life: \u2018Vision \u2013 the Imagined Testimony of Hildegard of Bingen\u2019. It features TV primetime series actress Teresa Banham as Hildegard and musicians The Telling whose Clare Norburn wrote this. Direction is by long-term TV creator, Nicholas Renton. There\u2019s Q&amp;A including audience questions.<\/p>\n<p>If I start talking about Hildegard of Bingen now, I\u2019ll never stop. I\u2019ll \u2018just\u2019 say that the figurehead woman of The Early Middle Ages inspired The Body Shop founder Anita Roddick with her natural healing, nutrition, mysticism and philosophy. She\u2019s a modern heroine.<\/p>\n<p>Her reputation and action battled its way though male-dominated Medieval society until its leaders and rulers finally swallowed something humble and sought her advice. And it strove on through a further nine centuries of obscurity until today\u2019s men granted her recent sainthood. Do we call that modern progress?<\/p>\n<p>Her poetry and music, discovered only in the 1970s, makes her the first composer in history to be known by name, and now the western world\u2019s favourite female composer. It\u2019s music that sounds out of this world, yet is earthly and sensual, and stirs our own souls\u2019 connectivity with the imagined but undefinable. What a musical personality to possess.<\/p>\n<p>As an experience, with these artistes, at this venue, in this ambience, this intimate presentation, it will be special.
