Help Bring Our New Continuo Organ to Every Concert
Bach in Baltimore is proud to feature our beautiful new continuo organ throughout our 39th season. This remarkable instrument enriches our performances with warmth, color, and authenticity, providing the musical foundation that lies at the heart of Baroque repertoire.
Transporting the organ safely to each concert venue, however, is a significant expense—approximately $500 per performance. With concerts presented throughout the Baltimore region, these costs quickly add up.
Your support can help ensure that this extraordinary instrument is heard at every performance this season. A gift of any amount directly supports the transportation and care of the continuo organ, allowing our musicians to share its inspiring sound with audiences across our community.
Please consider making a donation to help bring the continuo organ to every concert. Your generosity will enable Bach in Baltimore to present these masterworks with the richness and beauty they deserve while helping us continue our mission of bringing exceptional live classical music to audiences of all ages.
Thank you for helping keep the music moving.
THE MAESTRO’S THOUGHTS ON THE 2025/2026 SEASON
In a short interview, Maestro Dimmock shared that he began directing community choirs in 1977, a year after earning his graduate degree from The Peabody Conservatory. That same year, he became Music Director of the Handel Choir of Baltimore, a role he held for 25 years before being named Music Director Emeritus. In 1988, he founded Bach In Baltimore, an ensemble devoted to performing the complete works of J.S. Bach. Today, the group stands on the brink of that achievement, having performed 180 of the 210 cantatas, all of the masses, and nearly every ensemble piece Bach composed.
Reflecting on the upcoming season, he noted, “This is the 73rd concert season I’ve planned for community-based choirs in Baltimore, and I’ve never been prouder. In 25/26, Bach In Baltimore will perform one stunning Baroque gem after another in some of the region’s most beautiful venues. While many groups are scaling back, we remain committed to monthly concerts with full orchestra. It’s truly something to celebrate.”
