It was 300 years ago, in 1724, when Bach began writing the music that would become his B Minor Mass. Composed over the course of 25 years and likely never performed within his lifetime, the Mass is the culmination of Bach’s life’s work, the summation of his creative output. Replete with driving choruses and time-suspending solos, the B Minor Mass is one of the crowning achievements of the Baroque, and indeed all classical music.

Performed by The Thirteen with over twenty singers and thirty of the world’s finest period instrumentalists including trumpets, timpani, oboes, and organ, Bach’s iconic masterpiece should not be missed.
