The American Bach Society
Founded in 1972 as a chapter of the Neue Bach-Gesellschaft, the American Bach Society is dedicated to promoting the study and performance of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Annual dues are $50 ($25 for students).
The ABS is the ideal organization for anyone devoted to Bach and his music--specialist, nonspecialist, or general enthusiast. It is the best way to be "in the loop" on the latest information about Bach scholarship and performance and Bach festivals nationwide.
A $50 membership in the ABS offers an array of benefits and price savings to individuals, institutions, and libraries, including:
· The American Bach Society Newsletter, which appears twice a year and provides detailed, up-to-date information on Bach publications, recordings, performances, festivals, and workshops, as well as reviews by America's leading Bach experts of recent Bach books and recordings.
· Bach Perspectives (University of Nebraska Press), a hard-bound series of essay collections on Bach's life, works, and times.
· Membership gifts (including unique recordings and facsimiles of Bach's music).
· Discounts on Bach books and other Bachiana.
· Notification of the biennial meetings of the ABS, which feature performances of Bach's music, reports on Bach scholarship, and round-table discussions with leading American and European Bach scholars and performers.
· Eligibility for the William H. Scheide Prize for the best publication on Bach or composers in his circle.
· Eligibility for the William H. Scheide Fellowship, to assist in a research project on Bach or composers in his circle.
