Die h-Moll-Messe ist Bachs letztes großes Vokalwerk, dessen Entstehung sich über einen Zeitraum von 25 Jahren zog und das er 1749, ein Jahr vor seinem Tod, vollendete. Seit jeher geht von der Messe eine besondere Faszination aus – sie sei, so Carl Friedrich Zelter im Jahr 1811, »das größte Kunstwerk, das die Welt je gesehen hat«. Zweifelsfrei ist Bachs h-Moll-Messe eine der herausragendsten Kompositionen der Musikgeschichte. In seiner Vertonung des Messtextes vereint Bach Stile und Kompositionstechniken aus Vergangenheit und Gegenwart zu einem atemberaubenden Meisterwerk.

Der Kammerchor hamburgVOKAL wurde 2010 von seinem Leiter Matthias Mensching gegründet und hat sich innerhalb kurzer Zeit zu einem der führenden Chöre in Norddeutschland entwickelt. Das junge Ensemble widmet sich einem breiten Spektrum der Chorliteratur von Alter Musik bis hin zu Werken der Gegenwart. Bei Wettbewerben wurde der Chor mehrfach ausgezeichnet.

Das Ensemble folgt regelmäßig Einladungen zu Festivals und Konzertreihen, etwa in die »Stunde der Kirchenmusik« der Stiftskirche Stuttgart, zu den Niedersächsischen Musiktagen oder zur chor.com. Konzerte führten das Ensemble auch in die Elbphilharmonie und in die Laeiszhalle Hamburg. Beim NDR entstand eine Rundfunkproduktion mit zeitgenössischer Chormusik.

The Mass in B minor is Bach's last major vocal work, which took 25 years to complete and was completed in 1749, a year before his death. A special fascination has always emanated from the trade fair – according to Carl Friedrich Zelter in 1811, it was “the greatest work of art the world has ever seen”. Bach's Mass in B minor is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding compositions in music history. In his setting of the text of the mass, Bach combines styles and compositional techniques from the past and present into a breathtaking masterpiece.

The chamber choir hamburgVOKAL was founded in 2010 by its director Matthias Mensching and has quickly become one of the leading choirs in northern Germany. The young ensemble is dedicated to a broad spectrum of choral literature from early music to contemporary works. The choir has won several awards at competitions.

The ensemble regularly follows invitations to festivals and concert series, such as the »Hour of Church Music« at the Collegiate Church in Stuttgart, the Niedersächsische Musiktage or chor.com. The ensemble has also given concerts in the Elbphilharmonie and the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg. A radio production with contemporary choral music was created for the NDR.
