Music - Chicago, Illinois, United States
The Bach and Beethoven Experience (BBE) brings artists from different traditions together to collaborate on cross-genre, multidisciplinary projects. Like Bach, we strive for the ideal. Like Beethoven, we push boundaries. We combine tradition and innovation: something old, something new.The BBE was formed as the Bach and Beethoven Ensemble in 2009 by a cohort of young musicians, new to Chicago and eager for performance opportunities in a saturated music market. They presented 3-5 traditional "early music" concerts a year until 2013, when the group began the process of reorganizing as a nonprofit. Today, 1) we focus on making classical music accessible through projects that are relevant, meaningful, and engaging to communities; 2) we collaborate with artists across disciplines (musicians, actors, dancers, visual artists) and traditions (classical, folk, popular) to perform cross-genre, multidisciplinary projects; and 3) we partner with organizations to bring our projects to audiences that are passionate about the art that we produce. In other words: we make out-of-the-box art in a way that's fun and approachable, and we welcome everyone to join our BBE family.
