Bach Festival of Winter Park

About this happenin

Ralph Adams Cram counted Knowles Memorial Chapel, a Mediterranean Revival sanctuary, as his favorite of the churches he designed, and it's where most of the Bach Festival of Winter Park plays. A volunteer choir of more than 180 singers and a professional orchestra of about 50 fill it under artistic director John V. Sinclair. Rollins College has hosted the festival every winter since 1935, when a Winter Park arts patron marked Bach's 250th birthday with a weekend of choral music. The February run spreads over several weekends of organ recitals, vocal-ensemble evenings, chamber programs and large choral works. The National Oratorio Competition finals concert is free and open to the public, with seats reserved in advance. For campus performances, park in the Rollins Truist garage at 150 E. Lyman Avenue, where a golf cart shuttle starts picking up at the southeast corner an hour before showtime. Accessible parking includes a lot at Chase Avenue off Holt Avenue.

More in February: 13 other Orlando events.
