J.S. Bach’s Mass in B minor is one of the greatest achievements in all of Western music—monumental in scope, profound in expression, and endlessly inspiring. For our biggest concert of the year, we bring together over thirty exceptional musicians, including a handpicked roster of star vocalists singing one to a part, and an orchestra of leading period-instrument specialists. Experience the Mass as Bach imagined it: intimate, powerful, and alive with detail—performed with the clarity, nuance, and passion this music deserves.
