Heading to… Amsterdam!

In April 2026, Insula orchestra, accentus and the Monteverdi Choir brought the legendary Concertgebouw in Amsterdam to life with Bach’s Mass in B minor… and the audience gave us a memorable standing ovation. ✨

But what makes this work so powerful?
Why does it fascinate musicians so much?

🎥 Thomas Baronnet held out his microphone to the artists to explore the mysteries of this musical monument: secrets of interpretation, emotions, vocal challenges and suspended moments…

Join us on this extraordinary musical journey, conducted by Laurence Equilbey, with:
• Núria Rial, soprano
• Anna Lucia Richter, mezzo-soprano
• Werner Güra, tenor
• Gerrit Illenberger, bass
