Our Mission

It is the aim of SCJBF to cultivate knowledge and understanding of Bach’s music, as well as to celebrate it through festivals, lectures, master classes, recitals, and concerts. We offer many opportunities for musical growth to the best of Southern California’s young instrumentalists and vocalists.
