Bach Around the Clock

press release: Join us for this annual 12-hour celebration of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. More than 150 amateur and professional musicians of all ages will volunteer to play works by J.S. Bach that they have selected themselves. From clavichord to electric bass, cantatas to unaccompanied suites, sax to organ…we’ve got everything Bach.

Local celebrities will interview artists between pieces. Audio-video live streaming will be available on the BATC website for those unable to attend in person.

The event is free, family friendly, and accessible. We will have complimentary refreshments and lively conversation on the lower level throughout the day, and a birthday cake at 10 PM to celebrate Bach’s 335th birthday.
