Mass in B minor

Saturday May 9, 2009

3 PM - First Baptist Church of Philadelphia 123 S. 17th St., Philadelphia, PA

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

Featuring:

The Choral Arts Society of Philadelphia

The Bach Festival Chamber Orchestra

Julianne Baird, Laura Heimes, sopranos

Ian Howell, countertenor

Tony Boutte, tenor

Sumner Thompson, baritone
