Soli Deo Gloria, Deutsche Grammophon, and the Theatre of Early Music will present the debut of the World-Renowned Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists Bach Mass in B minor Paroisse Saint François d’Assise, 20 Avenue Fairmont Ottawa Saturday, October 28 at 2:00pm.

The Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists will make their Canadian debut in the Nation’s capital city with a performance of J. S. Bach’s Mass in B Minor, a work widely considered a pinnacle not just of choral music, but of Western music as a whole. Often seen as an apt culmination to Bach’s extraordinary musical career, the Mass is the product of four decades of composition. Portions of it represent the composer’s final creations, while others have roots in music from as early as 1714.

From the opening collective cry of ‘Kyrie’, to the winding fugues and ultimate radiance of ‘Dona nobis pacem’, the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists will reveal all the variety of a work that encompasses wild virtuosity, immeasurable pathos and exuberant joy.

The event is sponsored by the Theatre of Early Music in collaboration with leading promoters in the Ottawa Community including Music and Beyond, the Ottawa Bach Choir, the Rideau Chorale, Seventeen Voyces, the Ottawa Choral Society and Caelis.
