Unlike all of Bach’s previous sacred WORKS, the B-MINOR MASS WAS NOT
WRITTEN FOR THE URGENCY OF AN IMPENDING PERFORMANCE, but instead was
the creation of a spiritual testament that became his ultimate legacy.
It is the masterful assemblage of earlier WORKS, transformed pieces,
and newly composed movements written across a quarter-century, and
likely among the final compositions of his life. Our performances
of this astonishing masterwork bring together more than the usual
number of soloists, with alums from throughout our history including
sopranos Katy Shackleton Williams, Charlene Canty, Amelia D’Arcy,
and Lara Lynn McGill, mezzo-sopranos Timothi Williams and Thespina
Christulides, tenor Javier Abreu, and bass-baritone Matt Scollin. Join
us in Fox Chapel, Coraopolis, or Oakland for a majestic musical
experience!
