Bach Society of Minnesota

We are so excited to be looking forward to our 90th Anniversary with you in 2022! The past two years have been challenging times for all of us, and we are so happy to be back together again as a community of music lovers who perform and appreciate the music of J.S. Bach – and those whose work he inspired.

Our 90th Anniversary 2021-2022 season opened in late October with Morning Has Broken, captivating music lovers at Sundin Hall in Saint Paul, at Mount Olivet Lutheran Church in Rochester, and in virtual space.

We would never have been able to reach this anniversary milestone without your generous support and constant encouragement. And the momentum just keeps growing!  

Here’s what we have in store for you as we celebrate 90 years together:

• Come back together for the holidays with Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, in collaboration with singers from the magnificent VocalEssence choral ensemble.
•  Help us kick off our month-long Bach Festival in April with Legends & Lies: The Story of Till Eulenspiegel. A chamber music extravaganza in collaboration with the powerhouse men’s chorus, Cantus – this will be our first-ever concert at the Ordway Performing Arts Center.
• Breathe luscious May blossoms while listening to Bach’s glorious B Minor Mass.
• And more… the 90th Anniversary Festival continues through May with chamber concerts and outdoor Mini-Concerts in hundreds of Minnesota neighborhoods – maybe even yours!

Today, your support is more critical than ever to keep Bach’s genius fresh and relevant in our globally expansive times. Our 90th Anniversary season will bring you spectacular music performed by over 40 instrumentalists and 20 vocal artists, in settings as diverse as neighborhood parks or the Ordway Performing Arts Center, throughout the Metro Area and Greater Minnesota. 

We invite you to contribute generously in celebration of one of our most ambitious seasons ever! Want to give even more? Many employers will match your contribution – ask yours!

Thank you so much for bringing us to this exciting moment! Your support makes all the difference, and we hope to share Bach’s music with you for years to come.
