Event Description

It could be argued that J.S. Bach’s Mass in B Minor should have been called ‘Bach’s Greatest Hits’, for that is what Bach himself aimed to achieve in composing this masterpiece. Written during the final 25 years of his life and finished just one year before his death, the Mass is scattered with music and references that Bach considered to be his finest work, or movements which he had allowed to develop over time and had come back to refine at a later date.

Never performed in its entirety in his lifetime, the work is effectively Bach’s self-obituary, indicating how he wanted to be remembered by the world. If you have never heard it live, this is a very special concert that is not to be missed.
