Bach for You

Bach wrote some of the most sublime music, but that doesn't mean you should only observe it from a distance, on a pedestal. Here are some opportunities for self-reflection and personal connection through the music of our favorite composer and those he inspired.

Breathe with Bach takes our Musical Sanctuary initiative out into the community, partnering with various neighborhood branches of the Boston Public Library.

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.
