Bach Reframed

By Johann Sebastian Bach

May 5, 2025 at 7:30PM | Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church Sanctuary | 302 W 91st Street | New York, NY

Join us for a workshop presentation of selections from Johann Sebastian Bach’s immortal B Minor Mass, set to new text. Throughout this experiment, we explore the universality of this 276-year-old work and ask what “Kyrie” and “Sanctus” might mean today. Featuring the MasterVoices Chorus, a Baroque chamber ensemble, and soloists, this one-hour presentation will help inform our future intention to present the full B Minor Mass.
