Bach, the Mass, and the Modern Church

Symposium and service “Bach, the Mass, and the Modern Church." Segments of the Lutheran Masses to be performed by members of Boulder Bach Festival Chorus. FREE and open to the public.

The two-day symposium explores what Bach has to say musically and liturgically to modern congregations through his settings of the Mass. In the context of his less known and less performed Lutheran Masses, the panelists will discuss how Bach’s sacred music continues to move congregations and others spiritually more than 250 years after the composer’s death.

Sunday, March 8, 2009, 9:30 a.m. Portions of Lutheran Masses in F Major and A Major featured in morning worship, followed by Q & A with panelists.
