Overview
Every summer for the past 80 years, Carmel Bach Festival presents a two-week series of concerts, recitals, master classes, lectures, and open rehearsals. The repertory features music from the Baroque period, and the work of many composers influenced by Bach’s work, including Handel, Mozart, and Beethoven. The organization’s community engagement and education programs expand the festival’s reach year-round through youth-centered family concerts, free community concerts throughout Monterey County, and K-12 residencies. A renewal grant will support building financial sustainability, expanding the youth education programming, and developing long-term strategies.
