Arcadia Players (New York City debut)
This cornerstone of Western music is the perfect prism through which to view Bach’s compositional genius. Not only did Bach refashion a number of his earlier works for inclusion in the Mass, he also drew on a millennium’s worth of choral tradition in this masterpiece that serves to sum up all the musical styles he inherited. Dessoff is joined by a raft of accomplished soloists and the celebrated period-instrument ensemble Arcadia Players, now in-residence at the Massachusetts Center for Renaissance Studies at U. Mass, Amherst,
J.S. BACH Mass in B Minor, BWV 232
Tickets will be available at the door.
