Endowment and Continuo Society
Each generation of music lovers has the privilege, pleasure and duty of passing Bach's legacy to those who will come after us.

Part of our responsibility in doing so, is to provide a strong fiscal foundation to maintain high levels of talent and artistic excellence and continue to reach out to new audiences.

Those who have been involved with the Carmel Bach Festival have always taken this duty seriously. Since its founding in 1935, the Carmel Bach Festival has dedicated itself to fulfilling its mission with increasing scope and brilliance.
