Bach opens a vista to the universe. After experiencing him, people feel there is meaning to life after all.

Fortieth anniversary concert

Our fortieth anniversary celebration concert had to be Bach! A rare chance to hear one of the most celebrated masterpieces in the repertoire, regarded by many as the pinnacle of Bach’s great output. It stands alone as the culmination of a lifetime’s work; Bach completed the mass shortly before his death and never heard it performed complete. From the dramatic opening Kyrie to the power of the closing Dona nobis pacem, and the often virtuosic choruses in between, it is technically awe-inspiring yet life-affirming music.
