Monteverdi Choir

The English Baroque Soloists and Monteverdi Choir return to Carnegie Hall with a performance of J. S. Bach’s Mass in B Minor, a work widely considered a pinnacle not just of choral music, but of Western music as a whole. Often seen as an apt culmination to Bach’s extraordinary musical career, the Mass is the product of four decades of composition. Portions of it represent the composer’s final creations, while others have roots in music from as early as 1714.
