"Wolle’s legacy is an
American musical treasure…" If you attended the 100th annual Bach festival, we bet you'll agree with the Wall Street Journal's sentiments. Click here to see photos of highlights from Festival and press quotes from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Philadelphia Inquirer, and the Morning Call.
The
Bach Choir of Bethlehem is the oldest Bach choir in America.
Founded in 1898, The Bach Choir gave the first complete performances in
the United States of The Mass in B Minor and The Christmas Oratorio.
Under Greg Funfgelds passionate and experienced direction, The Choir
now fulfills the promise of its early years. The 95 volunteer members
sing with the dedication and enthusiasm of The Bach Choir of a century
ago, but todays performances, featuring the finely-honed vocal ensemble,
a fully professional orchestra, and world-renowned soloists, reveal a
new level of musicianship and understanding of Bachs choral universe.
