Oregon Bach Festival

The Oregon Bach Festival is an acclaimed music performance series presented by the University of Oregon School of Music and Dance, with representation from the community through the advisory Board of Directors. The Grammy Award-winning Oregon Bach Festival is recognized nationally and internationally as a premier performing arts organization which annually presents and produces approximately 50 performances of major choral-orchestral works, instrumental and chamber concerts, solo recitals, lectures, a children's series, master classes for professional musicians, an 11-day intensive study and choral performance program (a.k.a. Stangeland Family Youth Choral Academy) for high school-aged singers from across the U.S. and a daily classical music program for K-5 students. The administrative offices of the Festival operate year-round for the purpose of planning, organizing, administering and marketing each year's program, which includes the hiring and management of about 350 artists. Other major administrative areas include securing funds through private and business donations and public and private sector grants, the business management of the organization (annual budget of approx. $2.7 million) and publicizing, marketing and promoting the Festival.
