The Spire Chamber Ensemble, under the baton of Founder and Artistic Director Ben A. Spaulding, will perform the Bach Mass in B Minor.
Spire’s repertoire ranges from Baroque and Classical works with period instruments to work by contemporary composers. This will be a world-class treat for music lovers – not to be missed.
Now in their 10th season, Spire is one of the preeminent choral-orchestral chamber ensembles in the United States. The virtuoso choir and orchestra of distinctive solo artists are committed to the highest level of ensemble performance. These musicians travel to Kansas City to perform together, providing audiences with a rare level of choral music-making found elsewhere in the country. The Spire Baroque Orchestra features the finest historical players and joins these world-class singers for concerts.
Johann Sebastian Bach was the consummate master of polyphony or ‘many voices’ — this serves as the catalyst for all my own musical exploration. Bach’s extraordinary imagination in his B Minor Mass provides inspiration and a framework for the most remarkable musical allegory of human existence – its pain, aspiration, and promises.
An active composer, Spaulding is gaining a national reputation for excellence in choral performances. He is director of Music and the Arts at Trinity Lutheran Church in Mission, KS, where he has built a prestigious concert series and arts programs in the Kansas City area.
