VocaMe performing Hildegard von Bingen

VocaMe is a choral group that performs compositions from females in history. The have been in town before, performing through the local Early Music Society, with a Byzantine lady named Kassia. My wife and I missed that one but did come to thier concert this time featuring music of Hildegard von Bingin, who lived in the 1100's.

I have been a fan of Hildegard since the mid 90's when I picked up a CD of her music. The choral notes and combinations of voices to make a new one was fantastic. The four women of VocaMe did her music justice and more. My wife and I were very impressed with thier range of sound and quality of voices.

We'd highly recommend them and Hildegard's music to others.
