Chattanooga Bach Choir

Last fall, the Chattanooga Bach Choir opened its latest season with a cantata concert - a few members offered a preview on social media.

This spring, the Choir holds its annual Gala on Thursday, April 18th at the Westin - and then, one month later, its next concert: “Bach’s St. John’s Passion: A Musical Odyssey” on Saturday, May 18th at the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul.

David Long is the Choir’s conductor.

John Wigal is its Board President.
