Bach | Mass in A Major, BWV 234
Bach | Mass in G Minor, BWV 235
Bach | Concerto for two violins in D Major, BWV 1043
The Thirteen completes our survey of Bach’s four short masses, following our “fascinating… stirring” (Washington Classical Review) performance of The Early Masses I in 2025. The Masses in A Major and G Minor exhibit all of the mastery of the composer’s massive B Minor Mass in the form of smaller and digestible delights, written by the composer at a highpoint of his career. The Thirteen performs his two early masses featuring Baroque flute and oboe, paired with some of his finest and most beloved instrumental works.
Violinist Adriane Post join our choir of twelve soloists and our orchestra of period instrumentalists, which “buzz[es] with busy counterpoint and festive energy” (Washington Classical Review).
This program is made possible by a generous gift from Sherman & Maureen Katz.
