Johann Sebastian Bach:
The Complete Motets

Saturday, March 6, 2010, 8 PM

J.S. Bach’s motets stand—with little doubt—at the absolute summit of his work. The six primary motets that survive are considered the most sophisticated in the genre and demand the highest level of vocal virtuosity. Performed with a small core of singers and instrumentalists joined by some of the country’s best early music vocal soloists, hear what is possible when modern scholarship and brilliant musicianship combine to explore these extraordinary pieces.
