The all-female early music vocal group from Prague makes its U.S. debut with a sublime concert of music by Hildegard von Bingen.

The concert featured a closetful of varied recorders, most copied from original instruments of the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

In the hands of a gifted group like Vox Luminis, Bach's motets exhibit the great composer's artistic genius as fully as anything else he wrote.

With polished young performers on many different instruments at her disposal, Podger presented a wide range of music that featured flutes, oboes, and bassoon as well as strings.

Defying the Blizzard of 2016, the combined ensemble presented early and new music celebrating Shakespeare.

We were in the presence of a brilliant musical mind with a timeless sensibility, brought to life by an ensemble of singers who are surely among our time's finest interpreters of Josquin and the other polyphonists of the 15th and 16th centuries.

This concert of Early Music presented by Music Before 1800 was just plain fun, thanks to the music's spirited beauty and Wayward Sisters' infectious energy.
