Twice each year, we host festival weekends as part of THE COMPLETE BACH: BACHtoberfest on the last weekend of October and Bach’s Birthday Bash on the weekend closest to J.S. Bach’s birthday in March. Each weekend includes evening concerts on Friday and Saturday, plus matinees on Saturday and Sunday.

In October, the Sunday concert features the BACHtoberfest Choir – consisting of singers from around the country coming together to perform Bach’s cantatas. In March, the Sunday matinee each year will be Cantatathon – performances by members of the Worcester Bach Collective.
