Tuba Bach is an annual chamber music concert series held in Big Rapids, Michigan, USA. Founded by internationally renowned tuba-euphonium artist and composer and Big Rapids native and resident Dr. Edward K. Mallett, Tuba Bach’s goal is to provide the Big Rapids area community the opportunity to attend and experience world class performances of chamber music in their own town, free of charge. Tuba Bach also has the goal of providing educational presentations by bringing guest performers directly to students through a variety of programs in elementary, middle and high schools throughout the area.
Funding for the program is provided through charitable gifts and grants. No admission is charged to attend a concert, however donations can be voluntarily made at each concert event.

Famous quotes containing the word bach:
“The author’s conviction on this day of New Year is that music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music; but this must not be taken as implying that all good music is dance music or all poetry lyric. Bach and Mozart are never too far from physical movement.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
