The association
Dedicated musicians came together in Chur in 2019 to perform works by Johann Sebastian Bach. After successful first concerts, the Bach-Verein Chur was founded as a support association. Its aim is to rehearse annual concerts with music by J. S. Bach and, where possible, to include local musicians. From the initial ripieno tasks, a 25-strong choir of advanced amateur singers has been formed. The soloist and instrumental ensemble has established itself over the years. To date, the Bach-Verein Chur has performed 21 Bach cantatas. At the beginning of April 2022, one of the most important works of church music, the "St. John Passion", was on the program. In addition to the two usual concert weekends in Chur and the surrounding area, an engagement on 27 October 2024 also took our ensemble to Weiningen ZH - where we performed a kind of "best-of" from our previous programs of recent years.
