Prepare to be moved by one of the most profound and most beautiful of all choral works: Johann Sebastian Bach’s sublime B Minor Mass. Though never performed in his lifetime or even named, the B Minor Mass is the crowning achievement of Bach’s sacred choral music, a monumental work that showcases Bach’s supreme craftsmanship and skill as an artist. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience a live performance by the Concert Chorus, orchestra and soloists. One performance only!
“Before it, all masters of other ages must bow in reverence” (composer, Robert Schumann, upon hearing a performance of the B Minor Mass conducted by Mendelssohn in 1841)
