VERDANT MEDICINE: Premiere!

Written By Beth Beauchamp

In the words of Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), "the senses are to a person as precious stones sealed in a vase."

Deepen your experience with a concert you can not only hear and see - but also touch, smell, and taste! This multi-media experience included a set of hand-made image cards that expand upon the music with quotes from Hildegard paired with physical materials featured in her mystical and medical writings.

The premiere concert broadcast was watched by over 800 people, and was followed by a discussion of Hildegard and medieval pharmacognosy (i.e. plant medicine) by Dr. Victoria Sweet, Dr. Alisha Rankin, and Dr. Minji Lee, and moderated by Johns Hopkins historian of medicine Dr. Mary Fissell.
 

This program was generously sponsored by the Johns Hopkins Program in Arts, Humanities, & Health and supported by the Fordham Center for Medieval Studies
