Join the Carmel Bach Festival for its 87th season celebrating the many “passions” of Bach and Beyond July 13–27, featuring the Festival’s stellar orchestra, chorale, and chorus members, with appearances by internationally renowned soloists at venues throughout Carmel and the surrounding Monterey Peninsula.
