Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents "Beowulf: The Epic In Performance" with two performances on Thursday, February 6, 2025 and Friday, February 7, 2025 at the Blacksburg Presbyterian Church.

Vocalist, harpist, and medievalist Benjamin Bagby delivers a gripping solo spoken performance of the famed poem Beowulf. Experience this epic tale in the most epic way — reverberating through the chapel of the Blacksburg Presbyterian Church.

While now familiar as a written work, Beowulf’s medieval audience would have known it through the performance of a scop, or bardic storyteller, as Bagby portrays here. Accompanying himself on the Anglo-Saxon harp, Bagby uses the entire range of his voice to deliver this gripping tale in Old English, as it could have been experienced more than 1,000 years ago.

General admission tickets are $30.00 for adults and $10.00 for students and youth 18 & under.
