Baroque Brilliance: Bach and Handel
Saturday, March 14, 2026, 2000 - 2200
On March 14, the Seattle Choral Company presents Baroque Brilliance, an exhilarating evening of sacred music by two giants of the Baroque era: Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel.
This concert pairs two remarkable works that reveal the composers’ contrasting yet complementary voices. Bach’s Mass in G minor, BWV 235, written in Leipzig in the 1730s, is a deeply reflective work of spiritual beauty. Drawing on earlier cantatas, Bach shapes intricate counterpoint and luminous choral writing into a refined and intimate expression of faith.
In striking contrast, Handel’s Dixit Dominus, HWV 232, composed in Rome in 1707, brims with youthful energy and dramatic flair. This virtuosic setting of Psalm 110 showcases Handel’s early mastery of the Italian Baroque style, bursting with bold rhythms and exuberant choral writing.
Together, these masterworks offer a vivid portrait of Baroque sacred music at its most brilliant-intimate and majestic, disciplined and dazzling.
Adding more artistry to this concert event is an exceptional roster of guest artists: sopranos Natalie Ingrisano and Maria Mannisto, countertenor Jose Luis Munoz, tenor Stephen Rumph, baritone Charles Robert Stephens, and the acclaimed North Corner Chamber Orchestra.
