Who is she?
Chiara Margarita Cozzolani

Cozzolani was a sister at the “musically famous” convent of Santa Radegonda, Milan. Here the sisters performed music on feast days, separated from the public and priests by a high wall through the church. There are stories of crowds filling the exterior church to hear the nuns singing Cozzolani’s beautiful music!

Critically acclaimed!
“Donna Chiara Margarita Cozzolani merits the highest praise, Chiara [literally, ‘clear’, Cozzolani’s religious name] in name but even more so in merit, and Margarita [literally, ‘a pearl’] for her unusual and excellent nobility of [musical] invention…” Filippo Picinelli, contemporary.

If you’d like to find out more about Cozzolani, we recommend paying The Cozzolani Project a visit: www.cozzolani.com

🤔 Who is Hildegard von Bingen? 🤔

🤓 Not just a one trick nun! Hildegard specialised in, Philosophy, Theology, Medicine, Composition, Poetry and Art.

🎼 There are more surviving chants by Hildegard than by any composer of the Middle Ages, and she was one of only few composers to have written both the words and music.

📝 Although today we would consider Hildegard a key figure in Medieval Church music, she often referred to herself as an unlearned woman, a member of the weaker s*x. For some time, this prevented her from producing her works.

🎧 We’ll be singing Hildegard’s wonderful "Ave, generosa" at our concert on Saturday 30th May
