The Dallas Bach Society was formed in 1982 to promote and encourage instrumental, choral, vocal, operatic, chamber and keyboard music composed before 1800 through live performances in Dallas and its vicinity. Since its founding, the Society, under the leadership of its founding Artistic Director, Paul Riedo (1982-1994), and its new Artistic Director, James Richman (1995-present), has been the city’s primary resource for early music performances by serious, professional musicians. Instrumentalists perform on replicas of instruments from the 17th and 18th centuries. The Choir is trained in the vocal style and performance practice of the period. National and international soloists specializing in the interpretation of Baroque join musicians to present the highest level of choral, chamber, and orchestral productions each season.
The typical season structure of the Dallas Bach Society’s consists of ten concerts. In recent seasons the Society has performed at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, The Church of Incarnation, Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church, White’s Chapel United Methodist Church Christ Episcopal Church in Oak Cliff, Perkins Chapel at SMU, The Mesquite Arts Center, and the Church of Transfiguration.
The Dallas Bach Society is a member of the Association of Professional Vocal Ensembles, The Neue Bach Gesellschaft, and a founding member of Early Music America.
