Description

Experience the crown jewel in Bach’s oeuvre! Join T. Herbert Dimmock, four superb vocal soloists, and the Bach in Baltimore Choir and Orchestra in the performance of Bach’s magnum opus, the B Minor Mass. This work represents Bach’s lifelong and tireless artistry as a composer and musician of the highest caliber. It is a grand synthesis of his every musical innovation and contribution. Bach began the B Minor Mass early in his career and didn’t finish it until the end of his life when he had already gone blind. As a result, Bach never got a chance to hear a complete performance of his masterpiece that weaves together conventions common to both Lutheran and Catholic masses. Don’t miss your chance to experience Bach’s crown jewel for yourself!

Bach In Baltimore believes that music can be used to bring our community closer together and to help solve social problems. Our mission is to continue to perform the choral and orchestral works of Johann Sebastian Bach (and his contemporaries) while educating youth and the concert-going public about the musical language of Bach and the texts he chose to set to music. Concerts are given with these goals in mind. They are performed as intended by Bach in the original 18th century setting, with professional orchestral accompaniment, accomplished Baroque soloists, and choir. Our goal is to grow and diversify our audience, specifically, to engage more of our neighbors in Baltimore City, and continue our Student Voice Exchange and other educational commitments to Baltimore Youth.
