Hear our impact

During our most recent Choral Honors Festival, we invited high schools from Orange County to participate in expert-led workshops to discover new techniques and to grow their love of choral music…

“It was truly a wonderful experience. I felt as though I left there with more "tools in my belt". The feedback was something I could grasp and use. I got home and told EVERYONE about how awesome it was. Great experience all around.” - Lyman High School Student

“I love everything about this event! This is truly my students and my favorite event of the year. The students leave feeling so inspired in their music and as a teacher I love the opportunity for the students to receive such in depth feedback and clinic time with three different directors.” - Windermere High School Educator

“Listening to the clinicians working with the students was so insightful. This event is a great way for the kids to explore music at a higher level.” - East River High School Parent

Music changes lives

At the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park, our Youth, Children’s, and Young at Heart Choirs—and our in-school outreach programs—open the door to creativity, discipline, and confidence for singers of all ages across Central Florida.

Through Bach to the Future, we’re raising vital funds to ensure these opportunities remain available to everyone. Keeping the arts accessible for generations to come.

When you give, you:

Provide music materials our choir members.
Fund rehearsals that sharpen skills and build teamwork.
Bring the magic of live music into local classrooms and community spaces.
Sponsor performance opportunities for young singers on professional stages.
Provide scholarships to ensure financial barriers never prevent participation.
Support wellness benefits by sustaining programs like Young at Heart Chorale for seniors.

Partnering for a greater impact

We’re thrilled to share that the Bach Festival Society has been selected for the BRIDGE Program, a capacity-building initiative from Lightful that helps nonprofits expand their reach and impact. Thanks to the generosity of the Jessie Ball duPont Fund, every gift to our campaign will be matched $1 for every $7 raised—multiplying the power of your support. Together, we can inspire, educate, and enrich lives through music for generations to come.
