Gudmundsson Hugi - The Gospel Of Mary

Facts Guðmundsson: The Gospel of Mary - The Icelandic composer, Hugi Guðmundsson, has penned a new oratorio infused with religious themes and featuring an ensemble of orchestra, choir, and soloists. The Gospel of Mary draws inspiration from a long-forgotten gospel written in the early centuries after Christ's birth, which challenges the established narrative surrounding the role of Mary Magdalene in Christianity. This deeply moving oratorio dares to challenge established norms by portraying Mary Magdalene as an apostle on par with her male counterparts.
