While languishing in illness, Alfonso X (twelfth-century king of Castille, León and Galicia) prayed to the Virgin Mary for divine intercession that he might survive. After making a full recovery, he expressed his gratitude by commissioning songs, or cantigas, recounting the Virgin's miracles and singing her praises. The result was the lavishly illustrated and justly renowned manuscript of the Cantigas de Santa Maria. Set to compelling melodies, these stories will be sung by Ellen Hargis to the accompaniment of medieval plucked and bowed strings, winds, percussion, and the voices of the Newberry Chorus. The sensory experience of the performance will be enhanced by projections of supertitle translations of the texts and of the manuscript's stunning artwork.

A $2 discount will be offered on phone orders made in advance of the concert.
