“Pulling back the curtain” on the 2025 Texas Bach Festival
TBF 2025 has some “new wrinkles” in store for music lovers throughout Georgetown and Central Texas for its eighth annual Festival, “Bach, Mozart and Beethoven: Succession of Genius.” For the first time, TBF will offer a classical guitar concert, “Best of Baroque,” featuring Dr. David Asbury from the Music faculty of Southwestern University on May 18 at the Georgetown Public Library. Next, on June 25 also at the Library, pianist Andrew Brownell from UT-Austin and baritone Michael Hix from the University of New Mexico will present a “Bach’s Lunch” joint recital featuring music of Bach and Mozart. Finally, during Festival week (June 24-29), Dr. Williamson will present a free seminar on The Mozart Requiem K 626 and Clarinet Concerto K 622, both to be performed in the TBF Choir and Camerata Orchestra’s June 29 Festival finale. The seminar will also address the “succession of genius” from Bach to Mozart to Beethoven, and will be open to all interested music lovers without charge. Date, time and location to be announced soon - stay tuned!
In addition, TBF’s 2025 Festival will feature organist Dr. David Polley performing Bach, Franck, Messiaen, Alain and Duruflé entitled “Bach in Paris ca. 1935” at Grace Episcopal Church on Tuesday, June 24, and the Artisan Quartet presenting a program of Beethoven string quartets on Friday, June 27 at First United Methodist Church - also the site of the aforementioned June 29 Festival Mozart finale.

- Listening with great pleasure, from New Zealand! Marvelous!
- Un concert éclatant!
- Wonderful playing!
- With all our Love from Italy Bravo Angelo Ferrari!!!!!!!!!!
- Awesome! Happy birthday J.S. Bach!
- Beautiful!
- Glorious! This should have the 20M views! What a gift, thank you! Listening from New Zealand....
- I liked the wisdom of this conductor. Using only 8 voices, no orchestra, only one piano, no organ, could perform most of the parts of the Passion. I sang this Bach work every year for more than 18 years, and that is my most loved baroque piece. Congratulations for all.
- Exquisite!
- Brilliant St. Matthew performance.
- Can't wait for everything to fully reopen fully and full seating is doable.
