Bach Festival Orchestra

The Bach Festival Choir and Orchestra most often perform as a singular unit, but the professional instrumentalists of the Bach Festival Orchestra are, indeed, extraordinary musicians in their own right.

• Bach Festival Orchestra members come from across Central Florida.

• Many orchestra members teach privately or at colleges and universities in addition to their professional engagements.

• The Orchestra’s high musicianship has been consistently recognized, and its playing has been described as “dexterous,” “gentle,” “vigorous,” and “nimble,” encompassing the wide and colorful range of its members’ talents.

• The Bach Festival Orchestra (or ensembles from it) travel both locally and abroad to provide accompaniment to the Bach Festival Choir.

• Throughout the concert season, programs feature the Orchestra alone where its extraordinary artistry is highlighted.

• Often, Orchestra members are featured soloists on Bach Festival Society programs. Of particular note is the Society’s “Concertos by Candlelight” concert each February, always featuring the Bach Festival Orchestra.
