Thank you for your support and best wishes for the end of the year!

Our ensemble is named after St. Scholastica, the 6th-century woman who was the sister of St. Benedict, founder of the Benedictine Order. Although Scholastica’s renown has been eclipsed by that of her brother, she herself was the founder of the female branch of that immensely influential institution, which was responsible for the creation and dissemination of an extensive body of music over many centuries. Historically, monastic orders offered women a chance to receive an education, develop various skills (including singing!) and make a difference in their communities. In celebrating this legacy, we present works composed, collected and/or sung by women in their convents and lay communities in 12th to 16th-century Europe. With lyrics rich in symbolism, our program offers an intimate look at the desires and devotions of this sisterhood of eternal brides whose very real contributions have been largely ignored by history.
