“My chief aim was to awaken and permanently instill spiritual feelings not only in the singers but in the listeners,” said Beethoven of his immense and moving Missa solemnis (“Solemn Mass”). Observing the structure of a traditional Catholic mass, Missa solemnis is a vibrant paean to faith but also to humanity. This concert concludes Music Director Ken-David Masur’s final season as well as the Milwaukee Symphony Chorus’ 50th anniversary celebration. As Beethoven penned at the top of his score: “From the heart: may it go to the heart.”

Steeped in the grandeur and intricacy of the Baroque age, J.S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos are a showcase for his inexhaustible imagination. The surprises are endless — from the sumptuous string textures of No. 3 to the audacious harpsichord solo in No. 5. Ken-David Masur conducts the program’s finale in a perfect complement to the holiday season.
