An immense cathedral of sound, an almanac of human emotion. Though conceived for the church, Bach’s B minor Mass conveys profound humanity whatever your beliefs, encompassing the fullest range of human feelings, from intense grief to euphoric joy.

One of the world’s most iconic musical works –even considered a pinnacle of human artistic achievement – it’s directed by one of Britain’s most astute, incisive Baroque musicians.

Richard Egarr brings boundless enthusiasm and energy – as well as compelling new insights – to all he performs. He’s joined by a peerless quintet of some of the country’s finest singers, as well as the magnificent SCO Chorus, in this monumental work of blazing power and visionary beauty.
