THE BACH INSTITUTE
‍
Breathe with Bach
Our partnership with the Boston Public Library
‍

Breathe with Bach aims to support the wellbeing of Boston’s community, especially those who need the respite, enjoy the feeling of connection, or are otherwise unlikely to be able to access the live music. We invite you to experience an hour of live music as you choose: Watch and listen like a concert; Stop by for a few minutes; Treat it like a soundtrack while you work, read, or relax. Chatting with the musicians is encouraged; we love getting to know you!


“To hear music here, at this caliber is really precious. I look forward to it every month.”

Breathe with Bach Attendee at BPL South Boston Branch

“We've all loved having Breathe with Bach here at the branch every month! It of course enriches my work day, but I've also seen personally just how much our patrons love it. It really brings together people from our community of all ages and walks of life, both for those who come intentionally to hear the performers and for those who just happen to be at the library at the right time. I've had many patrons tell me how much they enjoy it and how it brightens their Monday afternoons.”
