The seven-year series of Bach Cantata performances known as "American Bach" has been transformed to a community-
wide nonprofit organization and made its successful debut in January 2010 as the…
Arizona Bach Festival!
Performances still include the great players of the Phoenix Symphony and the chorus is the Phoenix Chorale (of Grammy fame). Scott Youngs is on the podium and our guest concertmaster is Dr. Stephen Redfield, violinist extraordinaire! The organ recitals take place at All Saints' Episcopal, Phoenix on the gorgeous Visser mechanical action organ, featuring Dr. Kimberly Marshall from Arizona State University and Scott Dettra, the organist from the National Cathedral in Washington, DC.
In addition to the two organ recitals, Stephen Redfield performed in a solo violin concert in the lobby of the Viad Tower and the Festival Orchestra, Phoenix Chorale, and soloists presented Johann Sebastian Bach's Christmas Oratorio at Phoenix's Central United Methodist Church.
The inaugural 2010 festival has just concluded, so we encourage you to keep informed about plans for the 2011 festival. Visit our contact page and sign up for our mailing list and email updates, and we also hope that you will spread the news of our festival to all your Bach-loving friends and family!
A big THANK YOU to our patrons, volunteers, and donors!
