Sonoma Bach is comprised of three resident ensembles—Our large 60 voice Bach Choir, our medium 20 voice Chamber Choir, Circa 1600 and our small 6 voice one-on-a-part Consort, Green Mountain Consort. We prepare and perform an annual series of seven concert sets, featuring the finest repertoire presented in imaginative programs designed to bring to life the magic of the music and to connect compellingly with our audiences. 

Most of our concerts take place in the Green Music Center’s 240-seat Schroeder Hall, with its live acoustics, intimate audience experience, and wonderful Brombaugh pipe organ. In addition, we offer site-specific concerts designed for special places in Sonoma County, such as our biannual concerts in the domed and frescoed Church of St. Seraphim.
Give Voice to Early Music!
Right before the start of every rehearsal there’s a special energy—a sense of timelessness, as musicians work together to bring centuries-old music to life. This energy, these programs, and this legacy are all made possible by the generosity of donors who share Sonoma Bach’s passion for early music.
