The Miraculous Mass of Mary

October 2012

Voces8 returns to the Twin Cities to take the stage with us in a ground-breaking performance of “Missa Ave Virgo Sanctissima” by Renaissance composer Géry de Ghersem, active in the Spanish courts of the 17th century. Over 200 of Ghersem’s works were destroyed in the Lisbon earthquake of 1755. More >

7th Annual Greater Minnesota Tour

October and November 2012

This year’s statewide tour features a wealth of vocal and instrumental music from Medieval and Renaissance Italy, transporting audiences across the rustic countryside of Umbria and Tuscany to the spectacular churches of Florence and Rome. With help from the ever-playful wind and percussion virtuoso, Isacco Colombo (Milan), this eclectic program is at once celebratory, uplifting, and infectiously entertaining.  More >

¡Vamos a Belén!

December 2012

Join us this holiday season as we “dance our way to Bethlehem” in this new Christmas production featuring festive and earthy music from early Chile, Bolivia, Mexico, and beyond. Colonial Latin America was a melting pot of ethnic diversity, when newcomers wrestled with local traditions, and cultural conflict was often reconciled through musical collaboration. Dances from the streets of Mother Spain mingle with African rhythms and indigenous languages, while celebration turns glorious in the pageantry of the Franciscan missions of California and New Mexico. More >

Candlelight Concert: Sibyls of the Rhine

February 2013

Candlelight sets the tone for this new program of medieval chant and polyphony from Germany and France. Give in to the lush and contemplative sounds of a Gregorian Vespers service from the 13th century Benedictine Abbey of St. Emmeram in Regensburg, while poet-minstrel Frauenlob’s exquisite “Song of Songs” meets the unearthly music and mystic poetry of the newly canonized Abbess and Doctor, Hildegard von Bingen. More >

The Rose Ensemble hosts Stile Antico (Renaissance Choir from the UK)

April 2013

Early music superstars Stile Antico (UK) delve into themes of Lent and Eastertide with choral music from some of the most powerful courts of the High Renaissance. Performing without a conductor and with a style called “a plethora of riches” (Sunday Times), “engaging” (Los Angeles Times), and “wonderfully fresh” (The Telegraph), this two-time GRAMMY-nominated ensemble creates dramatic contrasts and pure beauty in this program featuring works by Tallis, Byrd, Gibbons, and more. More >
