J S Bach B Minor Mass 21 March 2026

David Bednall  Conductor    

with

Bristol Ensemble Baroque  

 

 

Mass in B Minor, J.S. Bach 

Described by Parry as ‘the mightiest choral work ever written’, the Mass in B minor by J.S. Bach is unquestionably one of the keystones of the repertoire. Bristol Bach Choir will present a performance of this eternally fresh masterpiece with the Bristol Ensemble on Baroque Instruments. The acoustics of St George’s will be the ideal place in which to hear this work with its wide-ranging textures of arias, ensembles and choruses and to wonder again at Bach’s seemingly bottomless source of inspiration.

Tickets: £30, £26, £20, £12, Students & under 18s (suitable for over 10s) £5

Times and Seasons

A fascinating programme of secular music reflecting on times and seasons. The never-ending pace of life has been an inspiration for composers and this programme will have a contemporary feel, with works reflecting the different moods that the changing of the year and the times of day produce. Works will range from the serious to the folkloric, and evoke the various moods which occur as day turns to night, and spring turns to summer and autumn.

This autumn will see a focus on the music of Bach, Brahms, and Bruckner, three very different composers but ones familiar to all music-lovers. Whilst all are known for their large-scale works, their output of choral music is no less masterly, and often seems to encapsulate an entire symphonic world in a short time span. The principal work will be J.S. Bach’s Motet Jesu Meine Freude, which across its 11 sections exploits the full gamut of choral writing. Brahms’ beautiful Op. 29 motets will be joined by his Fest- und Gedenksprüche and the secular Drei Gesange, whilst Bruckner’s beautiful Os Justi and majestic Ecce Sacerdos will provide a thrilling end to the concert.
