TAKE A
BOUGH
To celebrate the 300th anniversary of the publication of Johann Sebastian Bach’s ‘Well-Tempered Clavier’ Book 1, Vache Baroque is looking to the future by planting an orchard.
Twelve new trees – one for each note contained within an octave – will take root in the ancient grounds of the Vache and will grow as symbols of our mission: to nurture a love of music in young people.
We are asking for charitable donations from £2000 per tree.
Funds raised will go towards our education and outreach initiatives over the next three years. Bach wrote that the pieces in his collection were for the profit of the young and these donations will be instrumental in helping us deliver both his and Vache Baroque’s vision.
If you are at all interested in supporting this fundraising appeal, please email betty@vachebaroquefestival.com to discuss your potential gift
TAKE A BOUGH
Donations can be from both individuals or collectives and donors will:

★ receive a framed certificate and recording of the piece composed on their tree’s note
★ be sent jars of their very own tree’s jam by master conserve maker David Potter
