The San Francisco Bach Choir has been an important part of the Bay Area's cultural life for over seven decades. One of the oldest choirs in the western United States, SFBC played a major role in establishing choral music as a serious art form in Northern California while introducing thousands to the great works of
J.S. Bach. The choir has performed most of the major works of choral literature, including J.S. Bach's masterpieces such as the Mass in b minor, the St. John Passion, the St. Matthew Passion, and numerous motets and cantatas. It now focuses not only on the music of Bach, but in polychoral music from the rich German choral tradition spanning the late 16th to 18th centuries and has performed many works in this early antiphonal style. Under the leadership of director
Corey Jamason, the choir continues this tradition.
