A word from the artistic director

Off-Bach is the ideal place to experience Bach's universal humanism. People of all ages and backgrounds gather in an open, downtown setting to attend free recitals, mini-conferences, and impromptu performances. We know that Bach himself enjoyed a glass of wine at community gatherings, so follow his lead, come and visit us at the festival and celebrate his legacy and joie de vivre together!
