Mass in B Minor

Booking Required

Considered the summit of Johann Sebastian Bach’s œuvre and a milestone in music history, the Mass in B Minor transcends genre and time. This monumental, enigmatic fresco unites diverse styles, forms and affects in a single arc. Gli Angeli Genève’s singers, both soloists and ripienists, join players from the Orchestre de Chambre de Genève in a rare side-by-side project under the direction of Stephan MacLeod. The collaboration frames the score as an invitation to encounter voices, instruments and shared sensibilities.
