Dear Friends of Blue Hill Bach,

     Our 2025 summer festival during the week of July 14 will be a celebration of our 15th year by taking a look at past summers. We’ll bring back some of your favorite works, including Gott soll allein meine Herze haben, the solo cantata that inspired Blue Hill Bach’s creation, the cantata Wachet auf, Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Bach’s Magnificat in E-flat, and more—plus free events for the entire family like Bach’s Lunch, a masterclass for singers, a panel discussion about the music, text, and images in The Four Seasons, and a lecture-demonstration about early brass instruments.
     We’ll also be celebrating the contributions of our founder, Marcia Gronewold Sly, as she steps away from active involvement in Blue Hill Bach’s administration.
We’ve come a long way since the first concert in 2011, and we couldn’t have done it without your generous support. This year, we’re asking you to consider making gifts to both our annual operating fund and to our Bach to the Future! campaign, which will support the transition to new leadership. The goal of our campaign is $300,000, and we’re pleased to report that we’re more than three-fourths of the way there. If you’ve already made a gift to the campaign, thank you! 
    At the same time, your donation to our annual fund will help us continue to offer the year-round concerts and events we bring to coastal Maine, at the level of excellence you’ve come to expect from our ensemble of early music specialists, students, and community members.
Thank you for your support. We look forward to seeing you at this summer’s concerts and events.

Sincerely,
Rosie van Reesema
Executive Director
