Bach Akademie Charlotte Goes to Italy (Musically...)

Take a musical tour with us, as we perform music from the Italian Renaissance and Baroque periods, explore the influence Italian compositional style had on Johann Sebastian Bach, and gain insight into Bach's infuence on the next generation of composers. The 2024 Charlotte Bach Festival is bookended by two of the most stunning and transformational works ever written—Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and Claudio Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610—and there's a lot of great music in between!

All-Festival Passes and Individual Concert Tickets are now on sale.

Advancing the spirit of community

Dedicated to rigorous scholarship and performance that inspires, Bach Akademie Charlotte's mission is to advance the spirit of community through the legacy of Johann Sebastian Bach’s transformational music. A “Bach Akademie” is a German term, and indeed a tradition, for a collection of musical events and other activities focused on the study of Bach and his influence in both his time and ours. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the timeless insight into the shared human experience that Bach’s music offers, and our vision is to help build a world in which everyone has access to it.

Scott Allen Jarrett, one of the nation's foremost Bach teachers and interpreters, leads a professional chorus and orchestra that feature some of the finest Baroque and Historically-Informed Performance Practice musicians in the world.

Education is central to everything we do. We provide dedicated programs for trained classical singers and undergraduate vocal students, as well as opportunities for adults (and soon, youth), to learn more about how Bach's music works, and what continues to make it relevant today.
