BACHtoberfest Choir

Singers from across the country gather in Worcester for an annual choir performance to conclude the 2025 BACHtoberfest weekend. The BACHtoberfest Choir assembles for this concert annually, featuring musicians from all over. In 2024, the choir had 144 members from 11 states, performing three of Bach’s cantatas. This ensemble aims to unite voices from everywhere in song, with a shared passion for the music of J.S. Bach. 

The three cantatas on this program are scored for choir, orchestra, and soloists. Bach’s writing for voice is precise and delicate, even when set for a large choir. Join us for our second annual BACHtoberfest choir performance, directed by Chris Shepard at the historic Mechanics Hall.
