Beethoven’s Mass in C & Christ on the Mount of Olives
A full professional orchestra and soloists join Masterwork for a performance of two of Beethoven’s most poignant and dramatic works. Though sacred in subject matter, Christ on the Mount of Olives is a humanistic oratorio whose almost operatic emotional weight laid the groundwork for the secular dramatic oratorios that followed.
