The Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival is a week-long summer music festival devoted to promoting an appreciation and understanding of the music of Bach and a featured composer, country, era or people. The Festival, widely recognized for its artistic excellence, has been named the “jewel in Harrisonburg’s crown” by the Virginia Commission for the Arts.

This year's concert by the faculty of the Virginia Baroque Academy will center on the music of J.S. Bach and his neighbors from across the Rhine in France.  The influence of French music pervaded all the courts and chapels in Europe, including cities where Bach worked and traveled to, such as Celle, Bremen, Leipzig, and Dresden. And so we pay tribute to this delightful "Frenchness" in Bach's music and also from composers who influenced him.  Featured on the program will be an aria by Bach, a concert royal of François Couperin, a sonata of Buxtehude, Telemann, Rameau, and more.  Don't miss this tribute to Monsieur Bach. 

Visit the Bach Festival website for the complete performance schedule. Tickets ARE required for Festival Concerts 1, 2, & 3 as well as the Baroque Academy Faculty Concert. Tickets are NOT required for noon recitals or the Sunday Leipzig Service. Tickets can be purchased for individual Festival Concerts or for 3 & 4 Concert Packages at a discounted price. Ticket sales begin February 1.
