Help Keep Great Live Music Thriving in North Texas!

As an independent community arts group, the Denton Bach Society relies on the support of neighbors like you to keep our concert seasons going. While we are fortunate to host most of our performances at First Presbyterian Church of Denton for its wonderful acoustics and welcoming space, bringing each concert to life takes significant resources.

Ticket sales only cover a portion of what it takes to perform these timeless choral and instrumental works. This North Texas Giving Day, your donation directly funds professional guest musicians, scores, and operational costs.

Whether you can give $10 or $100}, every gift helps keep high-caliber live music accessible right here in our community.

North Texas Giving Day is Thursday, September 17 (early giving is open now!).

Celebrate America 250 with the Denton Bach Society at our first concert, “Baroque Roots, American Branches!” Beginning with Bach’s jubilant motet, Lobet den Herrn, enjoy American choral works from the Mayflower, the colonies, and 20th century classics. Join us as we perform music by William Billings, Aaron Copland, and Leonard Bernstein, and hear the distinctly American sound of the Sacred Harp and hymn tune classics!

Experience the grandeur of Handel’s Messiah, performed with a Baroque orchestra as it would have been heard in the eighteenth century! Audiences around the world delight each and every year in the Christmas portion of Messiah. We will add to the majesty of this work by also performing the closing movement of Handel’s masterpiece, “Worthy is the Lamb.” Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear Messiah like you never have before!

Let the music paint a picture in your mind with our February concert, titled “The Composer’s Paintbrush: Early European Musical Imagery.” Bach was a master of painting the words to music, and we celebrate composers that came before him that were also known for this engaging technique. Monteverdi, Josquin, Morley, Dowland, Lasso, and Schütz are featured as explore the many canvases that music can create. The unbridled joy of Bach leaps forth in music that he used for his Christmas Oratorio and B Minor Mass.

Our season-long world tour comes to a close with our Competition for Young Musicians Winners' Showcase and final concert, “Gloria! The Joy of Bach and Latin America" Three different Gloria settings anchor the concert by Bach, Pinto Fonesca (Brazil), and Ariel Ramirez (Argentina). Music by rarely performed composers of the 18th and 19th century will be a highlight, which include Zumaya who worked in Mexico City at the same time as Bach, and Nunes Garcia who was the court composer in Rio de Janiero in Mozart’s time. Vibrant harmonies and irresistible rhythms will fill your heart with joy.
