The Rose Ensemble is an internationally recognized choral ensemble.

Mayo Clinic Center for Humanities in Medicine integrates the arts, history and ethics in the medical environment to support the Mayo ideal that the needs of the patient come first. Harmony for Mayo provides weekly opportunities for patients, staff and the Rochester community to experience the music of talented artists.
