The Peoria Bach Festival brings the joy and beauty of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) to Central Illinois by offering concerts and educational opportunities for all ages. Held annually since June 2003, it is a collaborative effort featuring local musicians while at the same time attracting national and international talent. The Peoria Bach Festival also seeks to encourage and mentor a new generation of musicians. Founded and hosted for 20 years by Trinity Lutheran Church. Beginning in 2023 the festival moved to Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1420 W. Moss Ave., Peoria, Illinois.
Over its twenty years The Peoria Bach Festival has received grants from the Trinity Foundation and the Illinois Arts Council through the Community Foundation of Illinois. However, it is funded primarily by concert revenue and individual donors. If you have not had an opportunity to donate to this year’s festival, visit our DONATE page.
