Bach for You

Breathe with Bach takes our musicians out into the community, partnering with neighborhood branches of the Boston Public Library to present an hour of music, Bach and Bach adjacent, at BPL locations across the city. Listeners can experience Breathe with Bach as they choose, whether that’s pulling up a chair as you would at a concert, passing by for a few minutes to enjoy the sounds, or using the music as a soundtrack to do work, read, or contemplate. We encourage you to chat with the musicians if you feel inclined - it's a great way to get to know Emmanuel Music and to learn about our work in the community!

By creating regular and accessible opportunities to experience live musicianship, we aim to join in efforts to support the wellbeing of adults in our community, especially those adults who need the respite, the feeling of connection, or who are otherwise unlikely to be able to access the benefits of live music.
