Beethoven’s last great sacred work follows in the
tradition of Bach, Mozart, and Haydn. Yet Beethoven infuses
his Mass setting with a powerful new humanism, expressing
both his own inner spiritual convictions and the aspirations
for peace that swept Europe during the post-Napoleonic era.
For this concert, we were again joined by soloists Tamara
Matthews, Jennifer Lane, Jeffrey Thomas and James Weaver and pianist Steven Bailey in a
memorable performance.
