Liverpool Bach Collective was formed in 2013, with the aim of putting onperformances of J S Bach's cantatas in churches around Liverpool every month as part of Sunday Evensong or Vespers. The cantatas chosen are based on, or are at least relevant to, the readings of the day in the churches visited.The Collective usually consists ofabout ten singers and an ensemble of around adozen players, generally strings, oboes and organ; the ensemble is enlarged when the music demands it. The performers are a mix of professional, semi-professional and amateur musicians. The singers and players all have a love for the music of Bach and are united in their passion and their commitment in performing these wonderful works.By the end of the current season, the Collective will have given one hundred and ten cantata performances, involving sixty-seven different cantatas and two Passions, in forty-nine churches, from Blundellsands to Bootle.w and Toxteth to Oxton.The Collective is a registered charity, and the ensemble continues to enlarge its following of interested listeners.

Continuo Organ
The Collective has its own continuo organ, specially built for it by master organ builder Gyula Vági in Budapest in 2015. The organ has three ranks of pipes, two of wood (Gedackt8’ and Flöte4’) and one of metal (Ocktav2’). The case is made from cherry wood, the keyboard is plum, and the wooden pipes are made from maple.
