Bach Society Orchestra
Harvard’s largest student-run orchestra. Staffed, managed, and conducted entirely by undergraduates.
For over 70 years, Harvard's premier undergraduate chamber orchestra has been dedicated to performing top-quality baroque, classical, romantic, and modern repertoire for the Greater Cambridge community. Notable BachSoc alumni include Yo-Yo Ma, Alan Gilbert, and John Harbison.
Concerts & Events
The Bach Society Orchestra's 2023-2024 season featured perennial classics, from Haydn to Beethoven, alongside less often-performed works by Rossini, Prokofiev, and several other composers. Our season premiere on October 11th featured Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, with actors Neeraja Kumar ‘27 and Eliza Zangerl ‘26 and singers from the Radcliffe Choral Society and Harvard University Choir.
