Bach | The Early Masses II

Bach | Mass in A Major, BWV 234
Bach | Mass in G Minor, BWV 235
Bach | Concerto for two violins in D Major, BWV 1043
Bach | Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, BWV 1050

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.

Join violinists Adriane Post and Mandy Wolman, harpsichordist Adam Pearl, flutist David Ross, and our choir of twelve soloists for a concert “buzzing with busy counterpoint and festive energy” (Washington Classical Review).
