Bach Week Festival

The music of Bach still predominates and one critic called the Bach Week Festival “the most comprehensive celebration of Bach’s music west of Leipzig.” Artistic quality and public response have continued to develop throughout Bach Week’s history. As a result, Bach Week has earned the reputation as one of the Midwest’s most highly regarded and respected concert series.
