Famed for its brilliant harmonies, beautiful arias and depth of feeling -- and for taking Bach 15 years to complete -- the composer's choral masterwork has been called a "cathedral in sound." And Boston's Cantata Singers have been highly praised for their stirring performance of this magnum opus, with the Boston Globe raving, "The greatest soloist in Bach's Mass is the chorus, and the Cantata Singers are virtually in a class by themselves. Their union of polish and expressivity is an ongoing wonder. Hearing them sing the majestic closing 'Dona nobis pacem' was like seeing the first rays of daylight slowly overtake the night sky, ending in a blaze of radiant sound." Experience the magic for yourself at Cary Hall in Lexington, along with a pre-concert talk by New England Conservatory musicologist Ellen Exner and a post-performance reception with the artists.
