Birmingham Bach Choir sings Bach's B Minor Mass

The Birmingham Bach Choir return home to Bach, performing one of Bach's greatest choral works under the baton of Paul Spicer. They are joined by the Musical & Amicable Society orchestra and by the following soloists:

Sofia Ticciati Soprano

Simon Ponsford Counter-tenor

Ruairi Bowen Tenor

Roderick Williams Baritone

In the B Minor Mass, Bach set the Christian liturgy in one of the most enduring sacred choral works in classical music history. A full mass setting, it consists of a musical setting of the five sections of the ‘ordinarium’ – the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus and Benedictus, and the Agnus Dei – and is a powerful testament to the ability of truly great choral music to speak to faith, and the glory of God.

The backdrop is the stunning and historic Lichfield cathedral in spring mood.
