Bach Around The Clock is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, formed in 2017 in Madison, WI, to celebrate the enduring musical legacy of Johann Sebastian Bach.
J.S. Bach was born on March 21, 1685, and every year, on a Saturday near his birthday, BATC presents a community festival in which amateur and professional musicians of all ages perform their own selections of Bach’s music for a live audience. Originally a one-day, 12-hour marathon of live performances, the festival has evolved into a multi-day event which includes both in-person and virtual performances. The festival is free and open to all who would like to participate as performers or audience members.
The mission of Bach Around The Clock is to present a free annual festival celebrating the music of Johann Sebastian Bach through performances by musicians of all ages and skill levels.
