Bach – B Minor Mass
Bach Society Chorus and Orchestra
Sherezade Panthaki, soprano
Meg Bragle, alto
Lawrence Jones, tenor
Tyler Duncan, baritone
Bach’s most monumental work is the cornerstone and grand finale of the 2019 St. Louis Bach Festival. Composed over a span of 35 years, the Mass in B minor reveals the depth and breadth of the master’s creativity and spiritual conviction. Guest soloists include soprano Sherezade Panthaki, sponsored by Greg and Alayne Smith, mezzo-soprano Meg Bragle, tenor Lawrence Jones and baritone Tyler Duncan. This performance is underwritten by a gift from Robert H. Duesenberg in loving memory of his wife, Lori, a former member of the Bach Society Chorus.
