History & Mission:

The Toronto Bach Festival was founded in 2016 by internationally-recognized Bach authority John Abberger, to perform the music of J.S. Bach through historically informed performances that engage the wide diversity of Toronto audiences.
The Festival has grown significantly since its inception, both in terms of audience size and support for the Festival.
Abberger describes J.S. Bach as “the consummate artist, who channeled the human spirit into music. His musical language culminated in his extraordinary skill in musical text setting, and his use of complex harmony for musical expression. Tastes had changed by the end of Bach’s life, but centuries later, his music is still deeply moving.”
The Toronto Bach Festival is committed to creating an environment of inclusion and equity, and welcomes artists, audience members, and volunteers from all cultures, backgrounds, and orientations.
