PACIFIC BACH PROJECT Orchestra and Choir
The Pacific Bach Project presents innovative "commentary concerts" on period instruments that explore Bach's music contextually, in light of the ideas that gave rise to it and make sense of it. Led by Rick Westerfield, former assistant conductor of the Boston Symphony and the New York Philharmonic, the noted musicians and professional choristers composing the 44-member ensemble are drawn from elite period orchestras and Bach choirs throughout southern California, the Bay area, Washington DC and New York City.
