Residency at the Basilica of Saint Mary

In accord with its mission statement, "to contribute to the cultural life of this community" and following in the footsteps of the great cathedral churches of past and present, the Basilica of Saint Mary was proud to enter into an agreement with the Rose Ensemble in June of 1997, thus establishing its first residency program.

The Rose Ensemble performs in the Basilica at several events throughout the year, including concerts, liturgies, and our continuing Gregorian Vespers series.
