Bay Area Classical Harmonies Information

Founded by Andrew J. Chung in 1998, BACH began as a student group at UC Berkeley. The founding members sought to establish a supportive, challenging organization in which young musicians could develop a variety of skills, including leadership and teamwork as well as artistic virtuosity. The group was so successful, becoming known as "the most versatile classical music organization in the Bay Area," that as its members graduated, they decided to keep the momentum going. Shifting from a student group format to a professional-level ensemble, BACH became a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization in 2002, dedicated to the performance of fine classical music in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, with regular tours in Central Valley and Southern California. Since then, BACH has grown into a presenting organization, producing events for a varied roster of performers and ensembles, all-the-while maintaining its own impressive concert season, as The BACH Ensemble. As a presenting organization, BACH promotes a variety of programs, including the Last Friday Concert Series at Pro Arts Gallery in Oakland, The Josquin Singers, and most recently the Seemorgh Choral Ensemble.
