• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  Filigree, featuring soprano Christina Kay and mezzo-soprano Kim Leeds, delves into music about the iconic figure, Mary, mother of Jesus. Works by female Baroque composers are paired with selections from the Cantigas de Santa Maria, exploring the complexity of Mother Mary as a human and divine figure through these epic — and sometimes even comic — miracle stories from the 13th century.
