The Tilford Bach Festival is a Festival of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach held annually at All Saints Church Tilford, near Farnham, Surrey.
[2][3] For the first two decades, performances at the Festival drew heavily on local musicians, amateurs as well as teachers and professionals; from the 1970s onwards, however, 'historically informed performance' came to dominate more and more, and amateur involvement gradually died out.
The festival has become an entirely professional event and specialises in performances of Baroque music using authentic instruments and orchestration.
Farnham Sinfonia ([9]) started as part of Tilford Bach Society (CIO) but became a separate charity in 2022.
[10] The festival in Tilford continues to be run by the original society.
