Hildegard—An Unfinished Revolution spans the latter 40 years of the life of Hildegard of Bingen, a 12th-century abbess and someday-saint who was a composer, philosopher, visionary, and pre-Reformation reformer. The musical tells her story through her own music, remixed and reworked into modern pop arrangements.
