Greetings to all our Bach Around The Clock fans and supporters!

Two months past the 2025 Festival, we’re still basking in memories of wonderful performances and enthusiastic audiences.  This year, more than 200 individual musicians participated on 16 different instruments, ranging from violins, violas and cellos to theremin, handbells, and mandolin.

With the addition this year of two large Madison-area choirs and a vocal sextet, almost 100 singers performed on the Saturday Marathon.

The Festival also showcased the St.Andrew’s pipe organ with performances and the chorale sing-along, and a Thursday Master Class featuring student organists. 

A first this year was a Friday evening concert performance by Lawrence Quinnett, pianist – a BATC audience favorite – followed by a birthday celebration for J.S. Bach with cake and champagne. What a delightful evening it was!

 

THANKS to all of you for your continued support of BATC – whether as a performer, audience member, or volunteer. To our business and individual donors: thank you for helping keep the festival FREE for all! And – a special thank you to teachers of the many student performers for your instruction and for encouraging their participation.  Performance videos available on the BATC YouTube Channel.
