About Us
Established in 1985, The Broadway Bach Ensemble is a 45-piece community chamber orchestra made up of dedicated musicians from many professions who, quite simply, like to make and perform great music together. Our members take their playing seriously. Quite a few have played professionally, and most actively study and are coached in chamber music.
We perform three free concerts a year in New York City — a fall concert in October, a winter concert in February, and a spring concert in May. Our season continues on May 18 with conductor Michael Tietz, pianist Michael Mizrahi and narrator Jeff Spurgeon in a program of music by American composers: Aaron Copland, George Gershwin, Charles Griffes and Benjamin Franklin (yes, that Benjamin Franklin).

Past Performances
Our recent concerts have included some favorites — including a fully staged performance of Mozart's "The Impresario", Peter and the Wolf (with Dr. Ruth Westheimer) and Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante — as well as some wonderful less-familiar works by Vivaldi, Ives, Johann Bernhard Bach, Poulenc and others.
Our programs are varied and diverse, spanning the 17th through 21st centuries. For samples of past concert programs, see our past programs pages.
Please join us for our next performance, which will take place on May 18. The complete programs for our upcoming season have been set.
