The Mirandola Ensemble

Help us fund our upcoming performance and education activities!

Now in its fourteenth(!) season, The Mirandola Ensemble is a Minneapolis-based 501(c)(3) non-profit arts organization working to bring choral music, Renaissance aesthetics, and education to new audiences throughout the Twin Cities and neighboring communities. In addition to our steadfast commitment to the programming and revitalization of Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque repertoire, in recent years the Mirandola Ensemble has explored innovative programmatic avenues using contemporary compositions, as well as forged new exciting relationships via educational outreach throughout the state.

Your 2024 Give to the Max Day donation to The Mirandola Ensemble will contribute towards, among other things, our continued educational programming as well as continued live performances of newly curated concert programs. This fall, we are enjoying three separate choral residencies at South Minneapolis High School, St. John the Baptist School, and Transfiguration School. This Spring, we will continue our third year of the Augsburg/Mirandola Chamber Collective, a collaboration with Augsburg University and Dr. Kristina Boerger, wherein we rehearse weekly and, for several performances, perform shoulder to shoulder with Augsburg's talented choral students. New this year, we are excited for February's collaboration with the University of Minnesota Chamber Singers in "The Golden Voice: Palestrina Turns 500!". A concert program celebrating the 500th anniversary of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, one of the most prolific and instrumental composers of the High Renaissance. In April, we return to the Saint Mark's Episcopal Cathedral's Concert Series for a haunting Lenten program entitled "Lamentations." 

We are also happy to announce that we have secured matching funds of $2,000 through anonymous donors for Give to the Max Day 2024. Gifts up to that amount will therefore essentially count for double.

We are extremely proud of what The Mirandola Ensemble continues to accomplish, and we are thrilled to be back doing what we do best: bringing beautiful, underperformed music to our community and schools. Your financial contribution will help us achieve just that.

Gratefully yours,
Nick Chalmers, Artistic Director
