Bach’s Mass in B minor is one of the most impressive masterpieces in music history in terms of its dimensions and beauty. In the 2025/26 season of the Carl-Philipp-Emanuel-Bach-Akademie Hamburg, which has the motto »What do we (still) believe in?«, Bach’s profound confession of faith must not be missing. The work was originally composed for liturgical use, but has long since become an integral part of major concert halls.
