Dialogue Meetings

The Bach Network UK Dialogue Meeting has become an annual event, and so far each has been held in Oxford. Originally a December meeting, we transferred the date to immediately after New Year, when Oxford is still quiet, and the majority of seasonal concerts over. The Dialogue meeting offers indepth discussion and consideration of topics related to Bach
studies and Bach performance and is open to all who register in advance. From the informality of conversations over breakfasts in college halls and coffee breaks in the conference location to the formality of professional papers and public question times, the weekend offers every kind of discussion, and has led to many new, creative ideas. An informative abstract of all the papers to be given will be published by mid-December on the website prior to every January meeting. We hope that you will consider attending and lending your mind and voice to the issues. If you are unable to attend, please feel free to read articles published in our on-line journal Understanding Bach the majority of which are based on papers presented at dialogue meetings.
