Our Mission

The Washington Bach Consort shares the transformative power of music, with the works of J.S. Bach and other Baroque composers at the core. Our professional artists inspire audiences with the highest levels of artistic excellence, enrich the cultural life through historically-informed performances, and provide educational programs in the Washington, DC community and beyond.

Our Vision

To continue being a top-tier Baroque and classical music organization, passionately sharing and masterfully performing the music of J.S. Bach.
