The daring and inventive vocal group from Minnesota, The Rose Ensemble, will present a concert of rarely heard gems from 12th-17th-century Moscow, Prague and Krakow. Highlighted by ancient legends of heroes and saints from Eastern Europe, this powerful repertoire, much of which is newly researched and has only recently been performed in the United States, includes Czech chant and polyphony, 12-part Russian Orthodox hymns and motets for double choir from Renaissance Poland.

What the critics say about The Rose Ensemble's performances of early Slavic repertoire:

"This group deserves to be known beyond the narrow boundaries of its home." -Goldberg Magazine(Spain)

"Variety was the watchword…a tremendous diversity of timbres and textures. The group is cohesive and expressive… switching between languages on a dime."

-Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

"an almost supernatural blend of voices, beauty of tone, and rhythmic acuity. " -Early Music America Magazine

"A hypnotizing spell ... stunning technique....All went home amazed…one musical blossom after another, each one startlingly fresh and vocally brilliant. For this, the responsive audience applauded and stood, whistled and whooped---all for 500-year-old music sung in Russian"

- Duluth News-Tribune

Join us for an evening of unusual music and fine singing.
