POSTPONED: Bach at New Year’s

The group expects to re-schedule the concerts for a weekend in the spring.

GREAT BARRINGTON — The Berkshire Bach Society is sorry to announce that Bach at New Year’s Live will not go forward on December 31, 2021–January 2, 2022. The group takes this action in the face of the rapid spread of the Omicron variant and as a precaution to keep its audiences, musicians, and staff safe.

Berkshire Bach expects to re-schedule for a weekend in the spring when Music Director Eugene Drucker and the rest of the Ensemble will bring the six “Brandenburg” Concerti to life in all their musical exuberance.

In the interim, the venues will contact existing ticket holders with options to re-use, donate, or refund tickets.
