Cantare Con Vivo Presents "Bach's Mass in B Minor" (Walnut Creek, CA)

Cantare Con Vivo Presents “Bach’s Mass in B Minor”

David Morales, Conductor

Cantare Con Vivo is proud to present Bach’s Mass in B Minor. Without question, Bach’s Mass in B Minor remains one of humankind’s supreme artistic achievements. The first documented complete performance of this great work took place in 1859-109 years after Bach died. The movements were assembled over the last 25 years of Bach’s life, yet the work is very unified, as if he wrote it in one sitting. Bach employs compositional styles that reflect sacred music from both the Renaissance and Baroque periods, with movements notably requiring the chorus to divide into four to eight parts. Each vocal solo movement features a complementary instrumental solo, adding another layer of beauty and colorful richness.

An outstanding quartet of soloists will join both the Chorale and Chamber Ensemble, 110 voices strong, accompanied by full orchestra in presenting this legendary masterpiece. This is not to be missed!

We thank you for being a part of the Cantare Family and hope to see you at the next concert.
