Welcome to the website of a unique international project called "The Rock Mass". As the title suggests, it is a musical project fusing rock and sacred music in a breathtaking arrangement featuring singers, big band and orchestra. The authors of this project are Czech composer Daniel Kyzlink and English lyricist/songwriter John de Jong. The classical Latin Mass forms the thematic foundation of this work, with new lyrics adding a modern poetic dimension. The musical styles include rock, pop and film. The Rock Mass is a sequel to the Jazz Mass of Jaroslav Hnilicka which has been successfully performed many times in the Czech republic. There will be about 60 professional artists on the stage, a unique blend of top-class performers including English singers from London working with the the czech rock band as well as members of the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra. To listen to extracts from the work, please visit the MEDIA section.
