The English Concert: Bach Mass in B minor
Thursday 20 February 2025
7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
In all of choral music, there’s no summit mightier than Johann Sebastian Bach’s tremendous B Minor Mass. But few masterpieces reward the effort more gloriously, and few ensembles are better-equipped to approach it than the pioneering early music ensemble The English Concert. This transcendent music has been central to their artistic mission for over half a century, but every performance is still an adventure, and today that mighty journey is led by their principal guest director Kristian Bezuidenhout – described by The Guardian as “this most characterful of keyboard personalities”. Be in no doubt though: tonight, Bach will come first.
