Great Works of the Baroque - Bach's Mass in B minor

Conductor: Grete Pedersen Soloists: TBA Performers: Kilden Vokalensemble Johann Sebastian Bach: Mass in B minor (1749) Bach's Mass in B minor stands as one of the most monumental and visionary works of the Baroque - a musical whole that unites jubilation, meditative depth and a wealth of form without parallel. This evening the work is led by Grete Pedersen, who after 35 years as artistic director of Det Norske Solistkor has recently taken up the post of professor and chief conductor at Yale Institute of Sacred Music and Yale Schola Cantorum. This will be a concert that opens the door to one of Bach's most magnificent universes - a work the audience keeps returning to for its power and spiritual resonance.
