Join Kevin Leong, Music Director of the Concord Chorus, on a guided listening tour of Johann Sebastian Bach’s magnificent “Mass in B Minor.” This three-lecture series will explore the various historical and musical issues surrounding the work, including its genesis, the organization of its parts, and detailed musical and textual aspects of the score.

The lectures will be presented across three Sundays — March 19, March 26, and April 2 — from 3:00 to 5:00 PM at Newbury Court’s Morrison Theatre (100 Newbury Court Road) in Concord, Massachusetts.

Tickets for the entire series are $75 for general admission, $60 for seniors (65+), and $30 for students. Advanced registration is recommended due to limited seating. Visit www.concordchorus.org or call (978) 254-1551 to register.

The Concord Chorus will perform Bach’s “Mass in B Minor” this spring on May 20.

These lectures are supported in part by grants from the Local Cultural Councils of Acton-Boxborough, Bedford, Carlisle, Concord, Lexington, and Lincoln, local agencies which are supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
