Maine Points: Portland Bach Experience

Portland Bach Experience began in 2017 as a week-long festival in June, and has expanded to include an October weekend festival, as well as other classical music events throughout the year.

In 2020, Portland Bach Experience became a program of Classical Uprising, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization offering a bold rethinking of the classical music experience through immersive events, performances, and educational programs. Classical Uprising’s programs include Portland Bach Experience, Oratorio Chorale, and Classical Uprising Youth Choirs, which combined serve over 120 adult amateur singers, 70 young musicians, 60 professional artists, and more than 8,000 audience members.
