About this concert
Though a model of elegance herself, superficial gallantries leave her cold: Cundrîe, the mythical messenger from the Parzival legend and key figure in the search for the Grail. The medieval specialists of Ala Aurea invoke this heroic maverick with text and music by Hildegard von Bingen, Wolfram von Eschenbach and Chrétien de Troyes.
