Female vocal ensemble Anonymous 4 bring the music of Hildegard of Bingen to Saint Paul Sunday. Anonymous 4 perform the festal chants Hildegard composed to honor Ursula, a fifth-century saint who, along with the 11,000 women she inspired, chose martyrdom over forced pagan marriage.

Hildegard's visionary contributions to medicine, natural history, and theology have a timeless reach. The program places the ecstatic works Hildegard composed for Ursula's feast day in their original liturgical setting so that modern listeners can, in the words of Anonymous 4's Susan Hellauer, "experience the powerful impression they made on their first hearers, both as evocations of the holy events they commemorate, and as pure works of art."
