Mass in B Minor


The Mass in B Minor is Bach’s last great masterwork, completed in 1749, the year before his death. Much of the music was composed earlier in Bach’s lifetime, but here he assembles it into a unified and deeply moving statement of faith, a summation of a life’s work dedicated to the glory of God. The Bach Cantata Vespers Chorus and Orchestra will be joined by singers from Consonance--Chicago Choral Artists to present this magnificent music in two complete performances. Presented in concert with intermission. Admission and parking are free. $25 suggested donation. Saturday, March 29, 7:00 p.m. Sunday, March 30, 4:00 p.m. Pre-concert lecture by Carl Grapentine in the Sanctuary one hour prior to each performance. Bach Cantata Vespers Chorus and Orchestra in collaboration with Consonance--Chicago Choral Artists Grace Cantor Michael D. Costello, conducting Katelyn Lee, soprano Alexandra Kassouf, soprano Sarah Ponder, mezzo-soprano Brian Skoog, tenor Sam Handley, bass-baritone
