The Rockville Bach Academy/The Advent Project (www.theadventproject.net) offers performances of choral and choral-orchestral music, concentrating especially, but not exclusively, on the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Conversation Concerts provide an introduction to the organization’s specialty repertoire. Future plans include expanding concert programming and offering advanced training opportunities for young conductors and singers.
