Message from the Director

Hello Bach Enthusiasts, we are pleased to announce that the 2027 Boise Bach Festival will be held February 13, hosted by College of Idaho. Registration is open December 1 - January 10.  Join the email list to stay informed. 

In the past First Presbyterian Church and Immanuel Lutheran Church have been our wonderful hosts. However, due to the extensive pipe organ building project at First Presbyterian in February, College of Idaho has agreed to host and sponsor our 2027 festival. We are deeply grateful! 

The Bach Festival features the music of J.S. Bach and his contemporaries in recitals throughout the day. Performers of all ages are invited to perform piano, organ, woodwinds, strings, and ensembles. As always, there is a friendly competitive option in which performers K-12 may win trophies and medallions. 

The non-competitve Baroque Fans concert is for all ages, abilities, and instruments, and players are invited to perform with the sheet music if they like. 

New this year is a harpsichord clinic, as well as some other exciting surprises. So stay tuned, and start practicing!

Meanwhile, you can learn more about repertoire and guidelines.

~Adam Bendorf, Artistic Director
