Mass in B minor

Our season will conclude with a performance of J.S. Bach's sacred masterpiece, the Mass in B minor, presented in collaboration with the Bach Festival of Philadelphia. This setting of the Catholic Mass was not so much composed as it was compiled from his most significant choral and vocal works, thereby creating a moving musical tapestry of the composer's art! An event not to be missed!
