The association

Dedicated musicians came together in Chur in 2019 to perform works by Johann Sebastian Bach. After successful initial concerts, the Bach Society Chur was founded as a support organization. Its goal is to rehearse annual concerts featuring music by J. S. Bach and, where possible, include local musicians. From the initial ripieno tasks, a choir of 25 advanced amateur singers has been formed. The soloist and instrumental ensemble has established itself over the years. To date, the Bach Society Chur has performed 21 Bach cantatas. In early April 2022, one of the most important works of church music, the "St. John Passion," was on the program. In addition to the usual concert weekends in Chur and the surrounding area, an engagement on October 27, 2024, also took our ensemble to Weiningen ZH, where we performed a kind of "best-of" from our previous programs of recent years.
