We cherish our traditions, honor our students and forge forward to contextualize Johann Sebastian Bach's music and his legacy for the 21st century. Join us to experience Bach's impact on music spanning generations.

This year features:

-Bach Motets
Bach's ageless cello suites are interspersed with some of Bach's most intricate music. The single line of the cello suites creates an incredible foil for the densely contrapuntal Motets. Presented by BWV: Cleveland's Bach Choir and members of the BW community, this is an incredible evening of music, simple and complex, sad and joyous.

-Handel's "Messiah"
George Frideric Handel's "Messiah" is perhaps the most often performed piece of classical music. Its famous "Hallelujah" chorus even rolls off the tongues of children. It is a work of healing and comfort. We are thrilled to present this infamous Baroque work for the first time at the Baldwin Wallace Bach Festival. The music is celebratory, passionate and profound, worthy of its place alongside Bach.
