Columbus Bach Ensemble

Baroque music is a beautiful thing! To hear it performed live is uplifting and enlightening and while I try to squeeze in at least one performance per year by the Columbus Bach Ensemble, central Ohio’s only Baroque orchestra.
The Columbus Bach Ensemble was founded in 2000 by Worthington resident Christine Shumway Mortine. The chamber orchestra focuses primarily on the music of J. S Bach and other great masters of the 7^th and 18^th century, such as Hayden and Mozart. The season consists of about eight concerts, most of which are played at the Southern Theatre downtown.
It is, however, a real treat to hear their music the hallowed halls of the gothic-​style St. Turibius Chapel at the Pontifical College at the Josephinum in Worthington. This is a calming, yet exhuberant way to spend a Sunday afternoon and, as far as classical concerts go, ticket prices seem affordable at $ 10-​$ 15.
