Bach Around The Clock
All Bach. All Free. All Welcome.
Thanks to performers, donors, volunteers
and audience for making
Bach Around The Clock 2026 a great success!
A message from Artistic Director, Kathleen Otterson We’re celebrated a milestone — the 10th Anniversary of the Festival in its current format, as envisioned by the late Marika Fischer Hoyt! With one exception – the pandemic year of 2021 which was entirely virtual – Bach Around The Clock has celebrated the life and work of Johann Sebastian Bach through four days of in-person and virtual events since 2017.
We remain true to our mission to keep true to the mission of the Festival:
All Bach. All Free. All Welcome.
