Volunteer

Be Part of It!

Join the team of the Bach Festival of Philadelphia as a volunteer! We rely on your commitment. A multitude of Festival volunteers contribute innumerable hours throughout the year, planning benefits, after-concert parties, providing hospitality for rehearsals, and working at the myriad jobs a festival requires.

Volunteers receive the following benefits:

• Free access to all concerts you volunteer for

• Discounts on all articles in our shop

• The satisfaction of being part of an excellent international Festival

Festival volunteers work in a variety of areas including:

• Concert ushers – The Festival presents about one concert each month and a variety of performances during the festival week in April. We rely on you as volunteer ushers not only in the typical duties of tearing tickets, showing patrons to their seats, guarding the stage door, giving directions, helping at will-call ticket desks, and assisting in post-concert receptions on the day of performances, etc. You also provide a welcoming presence and ultimately become a part of the appreciative audience.

• Artist Hosts – The Festival invites guests from all over the US and abroad. You can provide musicians a “home away from home” by becoming a host family.

• Bach Shop – The Festival sells paraphernalia with the season’s motif at performances. Volunteers are needed to assist in the sales of these items.

• Office Assistance – Our team of volunteers works with the Bach Festival office with phone calls and mailings, shares technical know-how with computers and audio equipment, creates and distributes printed materials, works with host families or becomes host families, and provides and assists with refreshments at rehearsals and parties.

• Fundraiser – you can make a direct impact on the Festival by developing new sources of funding.
