Live music has the power to inspire, heal, and bring beauty to everyday life.
It bridges generations, connects friends, and strengthens communities. That’s why Portland Bach Experience tears down barriers and challenges preconceived notions about classical music by offering a wide range of events, venues, and prices — including many free programs. Experiences are anchored in the classical tradition and include full orchestral performances, intimate salons in private homes and art galleries, public sing-alongs, outdoor performances, and hands-on events for children.
Whether you are curious to discover classical music in a bistro, eager to introduce your grandchild to the cello, moved by hearing an orchestra, or just looking for a fresh idea for date night, Portland Bach Experience offers innovative musical adventures in unexpected places.
