\nThere is this old saying, "don't go up the mountain if you are not fully prepared" and Mass in B Minor is indeed a demanding mountain for the orchestra and choir to conquer as musicians cannot hide anything when performing the Mass. The composition tests multiple skills of the choir: they need to master Latin and have background knowledge on European culture, and the voice quality should fit harmoniously during the presentation.
\nIt is a trial for the orchestra as well. The simple and clean composition means more solo or ensemble parts for different instruments. Since the concert is held in the NTSO Concert Hall, which has outstanding acoustics and limited seating, the musicians must master the delicate balance between being excessive and boring. The perfect timing of the heaven, earth, and people has brought forth this exciting concert, don't miss this golden opportunity!
