Opening concert Lunalia 2025

The Dream of Hildegard

True to tradition, Lunalia’s opening concert will take the form of a musical moon ritual. The finale of the evening is the dream of the famous Norwegian artist Susanna, she has long wanted to dive into the world of Hildegard von Bingen. With her voice combined with ... carillon. This dream will come true in Mechelen, the city of bell towers, in a work based on the visions of Hildegard von Bingen. These visions are embraced by Wachet auf ruft uns die Stimme, a new composition by Wouter Dekoninck based on the hymn of the same name from the 16th century. As well as by dream images from Japanese Noh Theatre’.
