Ancient Christianity, Judaism and Islam

Rose Ensemble

Founded in 1996 and based in Saint Paul, Minnesota, The Rose Ensemble reawakens the ancient with vocal music that strives to stir the emotions, challenge the mind and lift the spirit. Each performance illuminates centuries of rarely-heard repertoire.

“To sit through an entire concert of sacred music from this period, especially when it is incomparably performed, is to be wrapped in an embrace . . . To hear the beauty of these singleline melodies is to experience an otherworldly beauty that reaches back nearly a thousand years.”
