Dear friends, It is my great pleasure to invite you to join us for the 31st Season of the Boulder Bach Festival—and to my first season as music director. The Boulder Bach Festival has a distinguished history, and I’m excited to become part of this long line of Boulder Bach lovers! It is my deep desire to see us grow and grow in the time ahead! The history—and potential—are tremendous!

This season promises a rich offering of Bach’s music that includes four splendid cantatas, the complete set of Brandenburg concerti, an organ concert by an award winning young organist, and other stunning works performed by our outstanding roster of artists.

Plus, a new feature. You’re going to be able to drop into a coffee shop, or wine bar, or gallery at various times during Festival Week in March and hear soloists or small ensembles perform in informal settings throughout the city. Visit BoulderBachFestival.org for details and locations.

My aim is to truly celebrate Bach and his great music with our entire community, and, we hope, introduce new listeners to the richness of this outstanding composer.

I know that you are going to hear some outstanding artists, both from the Front Range and beyond! You will also have opportunities to meet and talk with our principal artists. And, we will spend a day at the Boulder Library celebrating Bach with children. While preserving the best of the Bach Festival in traditional concert halls, we are also expanding our offerings outside to reach new audiences of all ages.

What an exciting season! I hope to see you there!

With great anticipation,

Rick Erickson
