The Bach Singers were created in the fall of 1985 from singers selected and contucted by Lŕszlo Dobos. From the beginning, our goal was not only to present the longer, more worthy pieces from choral music, but also to perform works originaly written for instruments, rescored for vocals. In the l* years of our groups existence, the focus has moved from the gems of the Renaissance and Bach’s motets to more emphasis on early English music. This music, lesser known in Hungary has become the group’s main profile (primarily the works of T.Tallis and Purcell) The Bach Singers operates as an independent artistic organisation. In addition to indepentently organized concerts in Hungary and abroad (Austria, Germany, Italy, Poland ) for 1'+ years we have performed in concerts and series of the Hungarian National Philharmonic, and studio concerts of Hungarian Radio. With the 16 member Bach Singers expanded to a 32 oratorical chorus, each year we performed jointly with the Pécs Symphony Orchestra in presentation of the masterpieces of J.S. Bach and G.F. Handel (Bach: Passion of St. John, Christmas oratory Easter oratory, H-moll Messe, Passion of St. Mathew, Händel: Messiah)
