St. Louis’ longest-running choral society, The Bach Society of Saint Louis, will kick off the holiday season at Leach Theatre. The concert will feature a mix of classical compositions and seasonal favorites, including selections from Franz Schubert’s Mass in G, John Rutter’s “Magnificat,” “Joy to the World” and “Carol of the Bells.”  

The Bach Society of Saint Louis was founded in 1941 by Dr. William B. Heyne to bring the music of Johann Sebastian Bach to the St. Louis area. The chorus features approximately 60 singers, both paid professionals and experienced volunteers, who perform works by Bach and other classical and contemporary composers.
