Our Story
The Northwest Bach Festival, originally founded as Connoisseur Concerts in 1970, has been a beacon of classical music in Spokane, Washington. Evolving from a focus on chamber music to a vibrant festival, it has enriched the community with its annual events since 1978. Under the artistic direction of Zuill Bailey since 2013, the festival has broadened its reach, offering free concerts and educational programs that engage audiences of all ages.
