Orlando Sings Presents Bach’s Mass in B Minor In Steinmetz Hall
Orlando Sings presents a one-night-only performance of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Mass in B Minor in acoustically exquisite Steinmetz Hall on March 1st at 8:00 p.m. Conducted by Dr. Andrew Minear, and featuring fantastic soloists along with Orlando Sings’ new professional orchestra, The Solaria Players, Orlando Sings continues the organization’s tradition of presenting a major work every spring.
Bach’s Great Mass, known as the crowning jewel of Baroque choral music, is a monumental work; a profound tapestry of intricate melodies, soaring voices, instruments, and harmonies. The work sits at the apex of human achievements, in the same realm as the breathtaking works of the Sistine Chapel, the Pyramids of Giza, or Shakespeare’s plays. Generations of performers and listeners have been enamored with the beauty and complexity of the work.
“It does not get more grand or majestic than the B Minor Mass— it is truly a pinnacle of choral music. J. S. Bach’s extraordinary ability to combine intricate polyphony with profound spirituality makes this work at once complex and universal, transcending religious boundaries. As a conductor, I find Bach’s music to be both emotionally and intellectually stimulating. It is a monumental work, and I could not be more proud of the wonderful singers in the Orlando Sings Symphonic Chorus. Along with our brilliant orchestral musicians, we can’t wait to share this epic masterpiece with Orlando.” – Andrew Minear, artistic and executive director
