Bachanalia Bach Week Benefit
Bach Week Festival's ever-popular Bachanalia is back! Join us at the Evanston Art Center for an evening of sublime Baroque music performed by some of Chicago's early-music luminaries, alternating with wine tastings ingeniously paired to the music by Vin Chicago Advanced Sommelier Mike Baker. We will also enjoy delicious hors d'oeuvres catered by A La Carte and a tempting silent auction. All proceeds benefit the 2024 spring festival, capstone of Bach Week's 50th Anniversary celebration.
