"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."

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 expceptionally 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 2010-11 we are offering three exciting new programs. We look forward to seeing you there! -- Trevor Stephenson, Artistic Director
