Mission and Vision

Founded in 2024 by renowned baroque violinist Tekla Cunningham, The Seattle Bach Festival serves the Seattle area with great performances of the masterworks of JS Bach and pearls of the Baroque. From large scale works like Oratorios, Cantatas and Passions to the chamber music and solo works, we offer you a portal into a world of beauty, passion, joy, learning and community. We believe the music of Bach and the Baroque has the power to nourish hearts, open minds and convene community.

Our mission is to inspire with performances of masterworks of Bach and pearls of the Baroque that move and uplift the spirits, nourish hearts, open minds and convene community.
