THE LIFE OF

CHRIST

Prophetic texts ascribed to

powerful women visionaries

known as sibyls fascinated the

early Christian church. One poem

ascribed to the Erythraean Sibyl,

for instance, was thought to foretell

the coming of Christ. By the 16 th

century the number of sibyls was

fixed at twelve, each associated

with prophecies concerning the

life of Christ. This concert presents

music from the 11 th to the 16 th

centuries highlighting each of the

sibyls’ symbols and the Christian

prophecies they represent.

‘rare talent of a modern rhapsodist‘…
