The exquisite voices of the Rose Ensemble will treat you to a program of gorgeous Medieval and Renaissance music exploring prophetic and mystical texts from many world religions and the insight and spirituality shared by people from all cultures and nations. Includes the music and poetry of twelfth-century mystic and abbess, St. Hildegard von Bingen, Renaissance Lenten motets and new works by Minnesota composers Edie Hill and Abbie Betinis, all performed entirely by candlelight. The music is interspersed with related sacred and secular readings, which will be narrated by MPR’s Tom Crann.
