Bach Week 2027
On the Road to Germany!
In March 2027, Cal Poly's Bach Week will celebrate its 17th year with a performance tour of Germany! The annual event brings together students of all majors, Cal Poly music faculty and professional specialists in Baroque music. Together, they present collaborative performances of Johann Sebastian Bach’s most notable choral-orchestral music. Every year, students learn from experts in their field the way musicians have learned for centuries: by rehearsing and performing along side them.
The tour participants will visit the most important places in Bach’s life and perform in the same churches he did. They will visit Bach museums and explore the culture of central Germany, visit his birthplace, Eisenach, as well as Arnstadt, Köthen, Weimar, the Wartburg Castle, and of course, Leipzig, where Bach served as Cantor for many years.
The goal is to bring 40 students to Germany. We would like to help reduce the cost each student must pay for this performance tour, ensuring that any Bach Week student who wishes to go will be able to. If you would like to make a contributin, please do so through this secure link, thank you!
