London Orchestra da Camera
David Temple conducting
Our first concert in the brand new hall at the Guildhall School of Music.
Many rate Bach’s Mass in B Minor as the most profound and magnificent of all choral works. It is a work of truly monumental scale. Between the first notes of the mighty adagio setting of the Kyrie which opens the work, through to the Dona Nobis Pacem which brings it to a triumphant close, Bach’s magnificent music thrills, soothes, exhilarates, awes, inspires and humbles.
It is a joy and a privilege to sing this wonderful piece. If you have never been to a live performance of this exceptional work you have the most wonderful treat in store. If you have already experienced its power, you will need no persuading to join us!
