The internationally-acclaimed Dale Warland Singers create that awe-inspiring sound in Cathedral Classics. As it has done in anticipation of Easter for many years, the ensemble performs in the reverberant Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis.

Minneapolis, Minn. — There is a grand tradition of singing in church, dating back to time immemorial. At its highest levels of achievement, the sound of a great choir in the perfect acoustical setting is positively ethereal. The internationally-acclaimed Dale Warland Singers create that awe-inspiring sound in Cathedral Classics. As it has done in anticipation of Easter for many years, the ensemble performs in the reverberant Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis. The concerts are extraordinary, creating an hour of riveting ancient, traditional and contemporary choral originals and arrangements. From the deep basses in the music of Russian masters Golovanov and Stravinsky to the familiar sound of Mozart’s "Ave Verum Corpus" and Poulenc’s "Mass in G Major", Cathedral Classics sets a tone that is both somber and glorious, perfect for the Easter season.
