The Details:

The 118th Bethlehem Bach Festival will take place from May 7-10, 2026, celebrating the culmination of the season in the heart of historic Bethlehem. This expanded four-day festival marks the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding by honoring the Moravian musical heritage that helped shape the Bach Choir. The event will feature performances of music from Moravian archives, insights from distinguished scholars, and collaborations with Moravian partners. The festival combines beloved traditions with exciting new additions, offering a powerful tribute to legacy, community, and the enduring joy of Bach. Artists-in-Residence include Synnet, North America’s premier early brass ensemble, and an outstanding roster of vocal soloists. Additionally, a streaming pass can be purchased to experience Bach’s magnificent Mass in B Minor from anywhere in the world.
