The Rose Ensemble - hear them on their nine critically-acclaimed recordings. Even better, hear them live with the MN Orchestra on Sunday at 2:00!  

So writes SOSMN friend Sarah Schmalenberger in her guest post for Sunday’s concert.  Sarah says:  “You will delight in this Sunday's extraordinary collaboration between the Rose Ensemble and the Minnesota Orchestra.  Drawing upon centuries of vocal music from around the globe, the Rose Ensemble brings Christmas music of Cuba and Mexico to this program.  Northern Minnesota native Jordan Sramek founded the ensemble in 1996, with a vision to showcase beautiful and rarely heard repertoire in engaging performances with a particular sound that transports listeners to another time. The results of this vision can be heard in the Rose Ensemble's nine critically-acclaimed recordings.  Check out Tpt's broadcast "Harmonies Across Time" about the Rose Ensemble:   http://www.mnvideovault.org/index.php?id=19376&select_index=0&popup=yes#0  Even better is to hear them live, with the Orchestra.    More on the Rose Ensemble here:   http://www.roseensemble.org/mission-history  “

The Rose Ensemble with the MN Orchestra for the first time Sunday, Dec 14 at 2:00!

Founded in 1996 and known worldwide for their breathtaking performances, brilliant scholarship and unearthing of lost-for-centuries choral works, the Saint Paul based Rose Ensemble presents a concert of music from the Mexican Baroque and 18th-century Cuba.

WHAT? The Mexican Baroque? Who knew there was such a thing? Well, our friend Scott Chamberlain knows a lot about it and shared his knowledge in an inspiring and informative blog post earlier this week. Talking about his first exposure to this genre in 1990, Scott writes: “European counterpoint and polyphony collided with African rhythms and themes, and played over the sounds of Native American instruments. It was clearly baroque music, but unlike anything I had heard before. It was also Latin dance music, but far more sophisticated than any dance music I had ever experienced.” Read the rest of Scott's wonderful insights here:  http://maskoftheflowerprince.wordpress.com/2014/12/02/musical-marvels-from-the-new-world/

Whether you’re a fanatic Rose Ensemble fan or a first-timer, don’t miss this opportunity to experience spectacular music that you will not hear anywhere else! A few tickets remain, mostly in the balconies (but don’t worry, the sound is fine up there!).
