Founded in 1977 by the late J. Reilly Lewis, the Washington Bach Consort presents three concurrent music series each season. With the music of J.S. Bach and his contemporaries firmly at the core, the group also performs music from the Renaissance to Classical periods. Educational programs bring Bach’s music to over 3,000 public school students in the DC metro area annually. Under the artistic leadership of Dr. Dana Marsh, the Washington Post most recently acclaimed the organization as “a company that could go head-to-head with period instrument ensembles anywhere.”
