ACHF Arts Access
This project, the Bach with Friends series, aims to engage amateur and student singers and instrumentalists in our community through day-long workshops in which participants will learn and perform a Bach Cantata (multi-movement choral and instrumental work) or several number of Bach's St. John Passion (also choral and instrumental), approximately 15-25 minutes of music total. Community members will get an inside look at what it takes to study and perform Bach's music, increasing their appreciation of the music and enriching their future experiences both as performers and audience members. Post-workshop evaluation will be based on the number of participants and feedback from written participant and audience surveys to assess items such as level of enjoyment, how they heard about the concert, awareness of historically informed performance practice, musical training, and whether they might attend a future Bach Society of Minnesota performance.
The Bach Society of Minnesota held two "Bach with Friends" in which 70 individuals participated in a day of learning, rehearsing, and performing a work of Bach. Participant surveys showed that 95% of participants gained a deeper understanding of the process of learning music, learning about Historically Informed Performance (HIP) and Baroque practices, and a deeper connection to music.
