The Montreal Bach Festival officially opens with one of J.S. Bach's most accomplished works, the Mass in B Minor. A monumental piece of music, this work showcases Bach at the peak of his artistry and invites us on a journey where pure beauty reigns supreme. Conducting the performance is Leonardo García Alarcón, a world-renowned Baroque specialist and passionate lover of Bach's music. "Without Bach, I wouldn't be a musician..." he declared in his youth. Adding to this are renowned soloists, the festival's orchestra, and choir, creating a recipe for a breathtaking opening! Expect intensity, power, and majesty!
