For twenty-five years the Bach Society at Christ the King Lutheran Church has brought the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and other composers in his tradition to a diverse and enthusiastic audience. The professional Bach Choir and Orchestra is the resident performing group. In addition, the Society invites distinguished guest conductors, soloists, and ensembles from across North America and Europe, thus offering the Houston community a program unique in content and quality. A commitment to historically informed performance—careful concern with authentic musical practice of the period—has distinguished the ensemble’s sound and style since its founding. The Bach Society offers its programs to the entire community without admission charge. We rely on the generous support of private donors and foundations in addition to free-will offerings received at our events. Please consider joining the Bach Society through a membership contribution (an online form is available). All contributions to the Bach Society, a 501(c)(3) organization, are tax-deductible.
