Oregon Bach Festival

Oregon Bach Festival was founded in 1970. Oregon Bach Festival specializes in Festival Operation.

Conductor Helmuth Rilling leads the internationally known Oregon Bach Festival every summer. Concerts, chamber music, and social events—held mainly in Eugene at the Hult Center and the University of Oregon School of Music but also in Corvallis and Florence—are part of this three-week event.

Since 1970, the Oregon Bach Festival celebrates the music and legacy of J.S. Bach in an unequalled environment of performance, discovery, and community, in the refreshing early summer of the Pacific Northwest. Perhaps the most expansive and critically acclaimed platform for Bachs music in America, the Festival forges connections between people through a love of great music.

Under the artistic leadership of Helmuth Rilling, the Oregon Bach Festival presents three weeks of choral-orchestral masterworks, guest artists, chamber music, social events, and education programs. Based in Eugene, the University of Oregon event also produces a summer series in Portland, with concerts in other cities and special events throughout the year. OBF 2013 takes place June 24-July 14.
