Heinali and Andriana-Yaroslava Saienko present Гільдеґарда (Hildegard)

Гільдеґарда (‘Hildegard’ in Ukrainian) is a unique reimagining of Hildegard von Bingen’s music. It combines the vocal sound production approaches of authentic Ukrainian folk singing with modular synthesis techniques drawn from high medieval polyphony and monophony. This approach, realised by Oleh Shpudeiko, known as Heinali, an electronic music composer whose work extends Western medieval music traditions through modular synthesis, and Andriana-Yaroslava Saienko, a singer practising authentic Ukrainian vocal tradition, highlights the physicality inherent in Hildegard’s visionary music, serving as a distant mirror to reflect, comprehend, externalise, and transcend wartime experiences.

Гільдеґарда is supported by Unsound, CTM Festival, Athens Epidaurus Festival / Subset, and GMEA – Centre National de Création Musicale Albi-Tarn.

The duo has an extensive performance history, with appearances at festivals and venues including The Lincoln Center (New York), Le Guess Who? (Utrecht), CTM (Berlin), Rewire (The Hague), WOS Festival (Santiago de Compostela), Primavera Sound (Barcelona), Muziekgebouw (Amsterdam), Musikprotokoll (Graz), Unsound (editions in Krakow and Adelaide), as well as Plivka and Next Sound in Kyiv.
