Pre-Concert talk at 7:00 PM

Reaching far beyond specific religious tenets, the Mass in B minor epitomizes Bach’s supreme artistry and is one of Western civilization’s most outstanding artistic achievements. The Mass abounds with creative energy, structural brilliance, and private and collective expressions of faith. New Yorker music critic Alex Ross writes: “What seems so extraordinary about this work, along with other monuments of Bach’s sacred writing, is that it captures the human and the inhuman in equal measure.”
