Musica Sacra - Bach's Mass in B minor
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM Saturday, March 14, 2015
Location:
First Church, Congregational
11 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA
When Musica Sacra last performed Bach's Mass in B minor, the Boston Globe declared, "The great choral movements ... proved the focus and high purpose of Musica Sacra; its admirable handling of exotic harmony and tight-woven counterpoint would have had any choral conductor weeping in gratitude."
We hope you'll join us as we once again explore this work widely regarded as one of the supreme achievements of classical music. Our concert features an assemblage of some of Boston's finest orchestral musicians and vocal soloists.
Teresa Wakim, Soprano
"Wakim, in particular, sang with extraordinary suppleness and beauty." (New York Times)
Douglas Dodson, Countertenor
"vivid countertenor" (The Wall Street Journal) with a voice that is "unusually sparkling" (The Kansas City Star)
Eric Christopher Perry, Tenor
"exuberant" and "sweetly sung" (Boston Musical Intelligencer), and praised for his "sweet and appealing tone" (Boston Globe)
Bradford Gleim, Baritone
"Bass, Bradford Gleim, was particularly excellent [and] sang with tender fullness, adding much to the performance." (Fine Arts Reviews)
