"First
off, I consider last April's period-style performance of Bach's
monumental
St. Matthew Passion the highpoint of the classical music scene
in 2009, a wonderful achievement for Trevor Stephenson and his Madison
Bach Musicians."
John Barker, Isthmus
"Madison’s
Classical Musician of the Year for 2009 is keyboardist, educator
and conductor Trevor Stephenson."
Jacob Stockinger, The Well Tempered Ear (blog

| The
Madison Bach Musicians ensemble is dedicated to presenting the music
of Johann Sebastian Bach—as well as works by other great composers
of the Baroque, Renaissance, and Classical periods—through
performances, lectures, and workshops. Bach’s music was chosen
as a focal point because of its outstanding beauty, variety, and
profundity and because it speaks with urgency to modern audiences;
it is the high water mark of musical expression and craft in western
culture. MBM provides a unique forum for professional and exceptionally
talented young musicians to work together in an exciting and engaging
period performance style. In pursuit of the greatest clarity we
perform primarily on period instruments, and our ensemble sizes
are typical of those used by Bach himself. In 2011-12 we are offering
three exciting new programs. We look forward to seeing you there!
-- Trevor Stephenson, Artistic Director
