About this event

This is a concert performance of Johann Sebastian Bach's Mass in B Minor by La Nuova Musica under David Bates. The event forms part of the London Festival of Baroque Music and is scheduled as the festival's closing performance on 31 October 2026. The interpretation reimagines tradition with an emphasis on urgent, alive music-making. La Nuova Musica is identified as the performing ensemble, with David Bates as its founder and artistic director and conductor. The vocal team comprises two sopranos, an alto, a tenor and a bass. The music is described through its virtuosic choruses and expressive arias, combining clarity, energy and insight.
