The Board of the Arizona Bach Festival extends heartfelt thanks to the artists, venues, donors, patrons, hosts, and volunteers who all contributed their talents, resources, and time in support of this year's Arizona Bach Festival. The musical experiences were exciting and memorable. In order to continue into the future, however, the Festival will require additional financial support, so please "stay tuned" for announcements about how you can be a part of helping us share the glorious music of J.S. Bach with Arizona and the world.
Arizona Bach Festival - January 8-14, 2012
Performers for the 2012 Festival have been selected from the best in Arizona as well many brought in from other states and countries. Scott Youngs, festival founder, is on the podium. The 2012 festival events will take place in the wonderful acoustics of both Central United Methodist Church and All Saints' Episcopal, Phoenix (with its gorgeous Visser mechanical action organ).
Guest artists include organist Felix Hell, pianist Evan Shinners, violinists Stephen Redfield and Emily Dupere, oboist Marian Buswell, cellist Jan Simiz, alto Karen Knudsen, and more. The Festival Orchestra, tenor Erik Gustafson (Evangelist) and soloists will close the festival with Johann Sebastian Bach's masterful and dramatic setting of the St. John Passion.
The first two annual Festivals were very successful, and we encourage you to keep informed about the details of the upcoming 2012 festival.

We hope that you will spread the news of our festival to all your Bach-loving friends and family!
