Bach's B Minor Mass

Experience the absolute pinnacle of the baroque in the Pacific Northwest. As a proud marquee highlight of the Early Music America Summit in Seattle, the Seattle Bach Festival invites you to a transcendent performance of J.S. Bach’s Mass in B Minor—widely considered one of the greatest human achievements in musical history.
From the monumentally powerful choral opening of the Kyrie to the concluding and consoling prayer for peace – the Dona Nobis Pacem – this performance balances historical informed performance and breathtaking emotional power. Brought to life by the Seattle Bach Festival orchestra, The Evengreen Ensemble and soaring vocal soloists, it promises to be a transformative concert experience. Whether you are visiting for the Summit, are a lifelong Bach devotee, or are simply looking for a deeply moving program of world-class music, this event offers a welcoming space to unwind, connect and be inspired.
