About the Festival

The Arizona Bach Festival has grown out of the seven-year series of Bach Cantata Concerts presented under the name American Bach. Now launched as a separate 501c3, the first Festival in 2010 was a resounding success, and has positioned the Festival to be a driving force in the musical offerings of the Valley. The mission of the Festival is to: Inspire, educate, preserve, and elevate the appreciation of Bach as a transcendent force, through the highest caliber of performances.
