The Washington Chorus will present Bach's grand Mass in B-minor
on November 16th with, among others, renown counter-tenor
Daniel Taylor and tenor Charles Daniels, both associated with the
Theatre of Early Music, a Montreal based early music group and choir, of which Taylor is the director. A promising assembly, but they will have to make due without another baroque specialist: The mezzo-soprano Clare Wilkinson (UK) who is scheduled to sing won't be able to come, because the London consulate would not issue her visa without a personal appearance. (She was on tour in Spain at the time, which complicated compliance somewhat.)
