Johann Sebastian Bach: Mass in B minor (1749)
Bach’s Mass in B minor stands as one of the Baroque era’s most monumental and visionary works—
, a musical whole that unites jubilation, meditative depth, and an unparalleled richness of form.
This evening, the work will be conducted by Grete Pedersen, who, after 35 years as artistic director of the Norwegian Soloists’ Choir, has recently taken up the position of professor and chief conductor at the Yale Institute of Sacred Music and Yale Schola Cantorum.
This concert opens the door to one of Bach’s most magnificent worlds—
—a work to which audiences continually return for its power and spiritual resonance.
