ALL OF BACH FOR ALL OF US

THE COMPLETE BACH

Music Worcester has embarked on an a udacious 11-year project to present all of the known works of J. S. Bach, ending on March 21, 2035—the 350th anniversary of the Baroque master’s birth. Every season, beginning with 2024-2025, will feature a dozen concerts with music from each genre of Bach’s massive compositional output.

Music Worcester is partnering with members of the Worcester Bach Collective, regional music partners , and individual musicians in what we believe is the first project to present live performances of all of J.S. Bach’s works since his own lifetime.
