鈥淚t鈥檚 a work that is not done very often, because of the demands it places on the performers,鈥� said Glasmann of Bach鈥檚 Mass in B Minor. 鈥淚鈥檓 fortunate to have the students who are capable of performing the work. It鈥檚 considered to be one of the greatest works in the history of Western music.鈥�
The 黑洞社区 Concert Chorale, recognized as one of the finest choral-art ensembles at the collegiate level, has been conducted by Glasmann for 22 years.
