Oregon Bach Festival: O Radiant Dawn

The dawn of a new day! Celebrate light, renewal, and the limitless potential of a fresh beginning. Framed by the serene beauty of Mount Angel Abbey, the OBF chorus and modern orchestra weave Bach’s timeless genius with imaginative voices of 20th– and 21st-century composers, including James MacMillan, Lili Boulanger, and Dolly Parton. Arrive early to usher in the 2026 festival with free coffee and pastries!
