Beethoven's Mass in C
320 Date Street, San Diego, 92101
Age Limit: 18+
Cost: Free
Under the baton of Dr. Keith Whitlock, the Westminster Choir and members of the San Diego Symphony present Beethoven’s majestic masterpiece, commissioned in 1807 by Prince Nikolaus Esterhazy for his wife.
Held in high esteem by the composer himself, the Mass in C is regarded as a markedly forward-looking work in the history of the development of church music, excelling in its directness and emotional content. While highly regarded by critics, this is probably one of the least often performed of Beethoven’s larger works.
