More than just a vocal chamber group, The Rose Ensemble uses its vast repertoire of diverse cultures to acquaint audiences not merely with the musical traditions, but also with the spiritual, political, and societal motivations that drive the music. Founded by Artistic Director Jordan Sramek in 1996, the early music ensemble performs songs spanning Mediterranean, Slavic, and Hawaiian cultures and drawing from the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian faiths. The Rose Ensemble’s attention to research reflects a genuine desire to teach others about unfamiliar vocal traditions, evident in their free music education programs to Twin Cities students.
