Instructions for submitting your recording are here.
Bach Around The Clock is Madison, Wisconsin’s annual celebration of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Held every March in honor of Bach’s birthday (March 21), it offers all members of the musical community, from young students to seasoned professionals, the opportunity to perform selections by this sublime composer, to an appreciative audience.
BATC 2022 will be a hybrid of in-person and virtual events, including a our Bach marathon on Saturday, March 19th — plus workshops, lectures, Zoom watch parties and many more special programs. All performances will be accessible from our website and our YouTube channel during and after the festival. Click here for a sneak peek!
Performers can choose from three options:
- submit your own recording in advance to be included in the virtual program (submit no later than March 4th)
- have your performance videotaped at a BATC venue; these performances will be included in the virtual program. Date and location to be announced
- perform in-person for a live audience in Madison on March 19th
