Possibly the greatest choral work
When lovers of choral music muse over their 'Desert Island Discs' selection, the Mass in B minor by J. S. Bach - arguably the greatest choral work ever written - often features on the list. Join us to discover why, and enjoy the glories, the insights, the beauty and the exhilaration of this powerfully moving and uplifting work.
We are joined by six fine baroque soloists from the Royal Academy of Music opera course. The singing stars of the future, each has won the Josephine Baker Award.
