Bach Musica NZ is one of New Zealand’s most highly acclaimed musical organisations. Their goal is to touch lives through music, and to keep classical music relevant, exciting and accessible for everyone. They are made up of a professional orchestra and a semi-professional choir performing at the highest level, led by internationally acclaimed conductor Rita Paczian. They perform four concerts annually in the Auckland Town Hall, each of which encompasses a thoughtfully curated mix of orchestral and choral works to ensure that there is something for everyone. Additionally, their engaging and popular musical education workshops on sight-reading, singing and conducting are open to all ages and levels.
Bach Musica NZ is an established and vital part of New Zealand's social and cultural fabric. Their Vision, “music that touches the soul”, is at the core of their work and informs all that they do. Music, and access to music, can be powerful and life changing – it provides opportunities and inspiration for emerging and established performers, brings people together, and creates a strong sense of community pride to be part of something beautiful. Their performances illustrate the cultural vibrancy of New Zealand, showcasing music from New Zealand and all over the world, presenting world premieres and well-loved favourites, contemporary and past works, complex arrangements and simple melodies. Bach Musica NZ musicians come from a range of backgrounds, reflecting the diversity and strength of New Zealand society, and how music can bring together people from many different heritages in the creation of something powerful and new.
In touching the souls of many, Bach Musica NZ hopes to shape a better future through the universal language of music.
