The Thirteen completes our survey of Bach’s four short masses, following our “fascinating… stirring” (Washington Classical Review) per- formance 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.

Violinists Adriane Post and Chloe Fedor join our choir of twelve soloists and our orchestra of period instrumentalists, which “buzz[es] with busy counterpoint and festive energy” (Washington Classical Review).
