BachStreet

10/21/2025

Hello friends! We are slowly fleeing the clutches of the M3taverse and will be deleting this page!

Rachel and Anna haven't lived in Winnipeg for several years, but BachStreet will live forever in our hearts, and potentially eventually on Anna's website. Anna is still performing and event planning, if you're interested, you can sign up for her newsletter at abpcreative.ca

Rachel is doing cool things too, just not so much with the internet presence.

Thanks once more to Matthew Karl Veith who made our incredible branding. We will likely build a landing page on Anna's website just to have a place for this perfect branding to live...

Thanks to everyone who joined in for the mini BachStreet concert at CMU Fall Festival last month! It was so joyful to be together again. See you for the next BachSt reunion at the 20th anniversary or Anna's hypothetical one day wedding, whichever comes first 😇

Thank you for reading, critters of the web!

Happy St. Valentine's Day ♥️

Today, we're stopping to think about the people/places/ways-of-being that bring creativity, laughter, and togetherness! 🥰

(also, Bach sends his love!!)

Our friend Indra Egan, pianist is out there DOING THE MOST! If anyone is unshakable, let's be real, it's Indra. We, citizens of earth, are grateful she keeps gracing us with her presence, and honestly all the symphonies should at this point be hiring her for creating the best and only online concert Bach would want to go to during this pandemic.

Happy Halloween, KinsFolk!
We thought we would have a go at creating a virtual Zoom choir....only in REAL TIME.
This is what it sounds like to try to sing in unison on the internet.
SPOOKY.

we are RECALIBRATING!
🎶
BachStreet is a live, comedic classical gong show, but we are unable to be this at this "unprecedented" time. BachStreet will go on, even though Anna has moved to Victoria to sing and Rachel is moving to Toronto for graduate studies.
🙄
Many Bach Blessings will continue to flow your way, but we are taking a heckin break from scheduling insta content for the summer. Plz go watch our videos "Oops I touched my face," "Divertimento di Dumpster," and " " as well as recordings of past live performances.
😈
We Queens of the BS empire had a lil visioning meeting, and agreed that what BachStreet does best is allow us, our performers, and our audience to be unabashedly ourselves, and build community while smashing the shame we inherit in classical music training/the world. Since we cannot have the 200-person audience we were planning for in the near future, we are coming up with other ideas, including more sketch comedy online, chamber popup performances, and fierce promotion of music and the arts in Manitoba.
🧙🏻‍♀️
If you want your musical or artistic initiatives to be promoted by us, please let us know! Our mandate is to enable ridiculous, resplendent, authentic, creative community experiences.
🧜‍♂️
and now a benediction:
🙏🏻
May Bach Bless you and keep you
May Bach make is affects to shine upon you
And be gracious to you;
May Bach lift up his counterpoint upon you,
and give you chills.
👯‍♀️
love, Anna and Rachel (email [email protected] if u r despo for nonsense)

Happy Singing Sunday! Woe might be you, but woe is definitely not me, says Bach.

We can't get over what I Fagolini has been up to over the past months. Have you checked out their series?? It's clever and delightful and we love it.
