One of the greatest artistic achievements in western art, Johann Sebastian Bach’s B Minor Mass surveys all of the musical forms known in the 18th century, from ancient Gregorian chant to the modern style galant of his sons. Accompanied by a professional chamber orchestra, CONCORA returns to this touchstone of the choral repertoire for the first time since Richard Coffey’s standing-room-only farewell performance in 2014—we’d love to pack the house this time as well!

Special Early Bird ticket pricing ends at 4:00 pm on Sunday, March 8, 2020. Tickets for the 4:00 p.m. concert on Sunday, March 22th at St. James's Episcopal Church may be purchased by clicking here.

CONCORA's 2019 - 2020 Season

The theme for this year’s season was inspired by the title of one of my favorite books, Jared Diamond’s immensely popular 1997 Guns, Germs & Steel. In his book, Diamond explored the ways in which the deployment of these three powerful elements allowed Eurasian culture and might to spread across the globe. In our six concerts this year, we look at how Ivory, Wood & Steel—materials fundamental to the production of so many different instruments—have inspired composers to write choral music with varied and fascinating accompaniments. The season spans three centuries, from the Bach Mass in B Minor to a new work commissioned by CONCORA from CONCORA singer Andrey Stolyarov.

I look forward to seeing you this season!
