Bach Aria Soloists 

BIO

Bach Aria Soloists is dedicated to presenting the genius and relevance of Johann Sebastian Bach, his contemporaries, and those he inspired to our community through BAS’ critically acclaimed concerts, multi-genre collaborations and BachReach education. Our adventurous repertoire includes chamber music from the Baroque to Contemporary, arias, art songs, tango, and more.

Led by Artistic Director-Founder-violinist, Elizabeth Suh Lane, the ensemble includes Sarah Tannehill Anderson, soprano, Elisa Williams Bickers, harpsichord, organ, and piano. “Collaboration is integral to BAS,” says Elizabeth Suh Lane. Bach Aria Soloists has partnered with international, national, and regional artists including Dr. Christoph Wolff, Rodney Marsalis, Matt Haimovitz, the Kansas City Chorale, bandoneónist Héctor Del Curto, Bobby Watson, Heart of America Shakespeare Festival, and contemporary dance ensembles including Parsons Dance, Owen Cox Dance, and Wylliams/Henry Contemporary Dance.

In 2024, Bach Aria Soloists was invited to perform at the 20th Anniversary Cayman Arts Festival with Rodney Marsalis. In 2022, BAS was selected as Ensemble-in-Residence at the Thailand International Composition Festival and was awarded the USArtists International grant from the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Bach Aria Soloists is on the roster of the Marslis Mansion Artists, exclusively for touring.

Bach Aria Soloists’ vision is to bring Bach, the Baroque, and Contemporary music to new life through collaboration with world-class artists and to perform in surprising and traditional venues. Thanks to our BachReach funders, we also offer BachReach, our FREE innovative education program that delivers exciting, interactive music for schools and seniors in our community.
