    Chelsea Music Festival

    Step back ten centuries and into a world of wonder at the Chelsea Music Festival, where myth and music intertwine in a rarely-heard medieval masterpiece — brought to life by the boundary-pushing Theotokos Ensemble.

    🎶 Experience Historia Sancti Magni, a vivid and miraculous 11th-century composition by the brilliant Hermann of Reichenau — a monk, scholar, and composer whose life and work defy every expectation.

    🐍 Meet Saint Magnus, the miracle-worker who:
    — expelled snakes
    — tamed dragons
    — recruited bears to find iron mines

    Through hauntingly beautiful hymns, antiphons, and ancient chant, this performance transforms an epic medieval legend into an operatic experience with the emotional intensity of Wagner — and the historical curiosity of true baroque adventurers.

    🎹 FEATURING
    Theotokos Ensemble – praised for their “passion, historical curiosity, and imagination”

    🍷 Reception to follow

    🎟️ Tickets are normally $60, but thanks to Groupmuse’s Nights Out program, you can experience this singular performance for just $20 — that’s 1/3 the price for 1,000 years of music.

    👉 Get your ticket now and prepare to be transported. Because where else can you see dragons, bears, and baroque brilliance — all in one night?
