About Oregon Bach Festival

Oregon Bach Festival  has presented the masterworks of J.S. Bach, and composers inspired by his work, to audiences in Eugene and throughout the State of Oregon for more than five decades. The annual event began as a collaboration between German Conductor and Organist, Helmuth Rilling and former Associate Dean of the University of Oregon School Of Music, Royce Saltzman.

In addition to traditional choral-orchestral masterworks, the Festival also presents internationally renowned guest artists and offers educational opportunities, family programming, and community events.
