Two days of wonderful music, walks, meals and experiences to remember. More than 7 hours of music & 5 meals….
The 12th edition of the Musica Sacra festival, organized by Rosario in Biévène in collaboration with the Centre culturel René Magritte and the Museum Hospital Notre-Dame à la Rose in Lessines, celebrates two mystical figures and music lovers who succeeded each other in the 12th and 13th centuries: Hildegard Von Bingen, a woman and abbess who illuminated the 12th century, and Rumi, the Persian poet who died 750 years ago. Two centuries, two cultures, a woman and a man united in their universal passion which returns to us as a universal echo.
