Boulder Bach Festival is a nationally recognized series of events celebrating the oeuvre of Johann Sebastian Bach,
his family, students, predecessors, and the composers influenced by him.
The resident ensemble, COmpass REsonance has developed into an autonomous entity, collaborating with major soloists, recording, commissioning new work by living composers, and resurrecting unpublished works from the 18th Century. CORE's debut album was released in May, 2026 on Onyx Classics, and features Vadim Gluzman as soloist in The Bach Violin Concertos alongside works by Ukrainian composer Valentyn Silvestrov.
In 2025, "COmpass REsonance" became the name of the forty-four-year-old 501(c)(3) non-profit,
retaining "Boulder Bach Festival" as a DBA (doing business as).
COmpass REsonance continues to navigate the waters of music history across time and cultures with J.S. Bach's artistic vision as a guide, a reference point, a compass. To learn about CORE's 2026/27 season at Dairy Arts Center in Boulder, Colorado, visit:
