| Maestro John Nelson |
For the last five years the Chicago Bach Project and maestro John Nelson have presented landmark performances of Bach’s choral masterworks, including Bach’s St. John Passionand St. Matthew Passion. Critics have called those performances “powerful” (Clef Notes Chicagoland Journal for the Arts), “profound” (Chicago on the Aisle), “thrilling” (Chicago Sun Times), “inspired” (Chicago Classical Review) and “one of the best” (Chicago Tribune).
If you missed those performances of Bach choral masterpieces, don’t despair. Bach specialist John Nelson, along with a stellar cast of soloists and the choral and orchestral forces of the Chicago Bach Project, is returning on March 11 to perform Bach’s monumental Mass in B Minor.
