Hebrew Prayer features the complete music of Johann Sebastian Bachs Mass in B Minor considered the greatest work in the choral repertoire and featuring many early music styles such as Italianate Baroque, German fugue, and Polonaise.

This adaptation makes parallels to the original Latin Mass text (such as in movements that praise God) and expresses them in the words of ancient Hebrew prayers. Sung in Hebrew, the work will be performed by CONCORAs singers and soloists with a chamber orchestra under the direction of Chris Shepard, Artistic Director. The concert is made possible by the Edward C. & Ann T. Roberts Foundation and the Friends of Bach.

Hebrew Prayer is the creation of Dr. Eric Weitzner, a devotee of Bachs music and former student of Hebrew and Jewish theology.

Tickets for reserved seating are $20 to $49 per adult and $12 per student. Visit concora.org or 860-313-1410 for more info or to purchase tickets.
