2022 Season - Bach in the Gardens

The Bach in the Gardens tour takes the premise of the Calyx matinée concerts: short, free, family friendly events, and makes the series mobile. Whilst the Calyx series invites Sydneysiders to rediscover live performance in their verdant "backyard", the Bach in the Gardens tour celebrates the sublime union of classical music and the raw beauty of Australia's dramatic rural landscapes.

We want to reimagine the ways in which our vital green spaces in regional towns throughout NSW can act as gathering places to share the joy of live performance.

October 7-9 Tour

The spring tour sees a quartet of performers travel between Oberon and Mudgee from October 7 - 9. 

On Friday, October 7, the Sydney Bach Society performs at the famed Mayfield and Hawkins Family Garden in Oberon. Set amongst 64 hectares of stunning gardens inspired by the magnificent estates of Europe, the gardens provide the perfect setting for the serene and transcendent music of Bach, Handel, and Corelli.

Over the weekend of October 8 - 9, the Sydney Bach Society is delighted to open the Sculptures in the Garden festival at Rosby Wines in Mudgee. This annual exhibition is a major cultural event in the Central West, attracting thousands of locals and tourists.

The Sydney Bach Society will present a program that blends music of the Baroque with works by female Australian composers recently commissioned for their Caccini Circle Project – a commissioning project that seeks to diversify the repertoire presented by early music ensembles in Australia.
