This year St. Bartholomew Catholic Faith Community is pleased to host concerts by some of the finest vocal ensembles in the Twin Cities. We will be hosting three concerts by Cantus, and we will welcome back The Rose Ensemble in February. Also, there will be first-time concerts by The Singers, The National Lutheran Choir, and Magnum Chorum.   Our series of musical events also includes an annual favorite, A Festival of Lessons and Carols by our own St. Bartholomew Parish choirs on Friday, January 6 at 7:00 p.m. Please plan to join us.

 

 

There are artists who have left an indelible mark in music with words that are both timeless and instantly recognizable. On the Shoulders of Giants features masterworks by composers and songwriters - from Bach, Sibelius, and Schubert to Lennon and McCartney, who continue to inspire each generation of new musicians. Tickets will be available at the door or may be purchased online at the Cantus website: www.cantusonline.org

Gothic Grandeur: Voices from the Great Cathedrals of Europe

Escape to a time when artists were heroes and the decorative masterpieces they created embodied the pride and ambition of a city's inhabitants; a time when church-building architecture was as ornate and elaborate as the very music it house, and composers were paid better than politicians. Join us now for an illuminating concert of chant and polyphony by candlelight, performed in some of our own architectural wonders! This special performance of ethereal vocal music (ca. 1200-1500) from English, Franco-Flemish, German and Spanish archives is produced in conjunction with the Getty Museum's Gothic Grandeur manuscript exhibition. Tickets will be available at the door or may be purchased online at the Rose Ensemble website: www.roseensemble.org

 

 

 

The Singing Revolution:  Songs of the Baltic Awakening

Can music really change the world? In 1989 it did as the people of Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia joined hands in a peaceful revolution of song to gain their independence from the Soviet Union. Don't miss this inspiring story and the beautiful music of the Baltic states. Tickets will be available at the door or may be purchased online at the Cantus website: www.cantusonline.org
