Pre-Concert Lecture at 6:30 PM



Often called the greatest music ever written, the Mass in b minor is the brilliant end-of-life compilation of Bach’s vast expertise in choral composition. With its highly contrasting extremes of form, ensemble and mood, this musical monument is also a magnificent summation of the North German baroque style. Director David Babbitt brings a lifetime of immersion in this rich tradition to every performance of this, the Bach Choir’s most popular repertory work. Join us with Soprano Jennifer Ellis, Alto Miriam Abramowitsch, Tenor Daniel Hutchings, Bass Jeffrey Fields, and the world-class SFBC Baroque Orchestra as we explore an exhilarating and ever-revealing masterpiece.
