TICKETS FOR THE BACH B-MINOR MASS BY MUSICA SACRA ON MARCH 21^ST, 2015 at 7:30pm in the MEETINGHOUSE

On Saturday March 21st, the birthday of J.S. Bach, the Cambridge based chorale Musica Sacra will perform the Mass in B-minor in our sanctuary at 7:30pm with a Boston-based Baroque Instrumental Ensemble and distinguished vocal Soloists. Performance of this monumental piece is a rare event, even in the Boston area, and it will be the classical music high point of our 2014-15 Concert & Lecture Series to benefit the Meetinghouse Preservation Fund.   Pre-concert talk by Dr. Christoph Wolff, Adams Professor Emeritus, Harvard University and Bach biographer “The Learned Musician.”  Talk at 6:30 pm (doors open at 6).  There will be a gala reception in the Vestry following the performance. [Free shuttle to satellite parking lots around Gloucester’s Historic District.  Location and schedule available on our Home Page.]    Tickets will be on sale at the door (Saturday evening) as well as here on line.  General Admission $50;   Seniors [over 65] /Students $45;  VIP GALLERY seating [best views and musical experience] $75 – limited to 30, includes souvenir lanyard.  Scroll to bottom of page to purchase.

The event is sponsored by a generous gift from H. Woody Brock. It represents a triple benefit for his investment: first as a gift towards the preservation of our historic building; second as funding that underwrites the concert costs in advance of ticket sales; and third as an incomparable cultural gift to the greater Cape Ann Community.

For the first time you are now able to purchase tickets to a Meetinghouse event or make a donation to the 2014-15 Concert & Lecture Series via credit or debit card here on the Church’s website. This represents a huge step in the financial evolution of both the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church and the forthcoming Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation to help preserve our historic building.

Tickets purchased on-line will be held at the door. Please print and bring your on-line purchase confirmation receipt to the concert. Doors open at 7:00pm      In the unlikely event that the concert is cancelled, on-line ticket purchases will be refunded.
