 American Bach Soloists

The American Bach Soloists ("ABS") is an American baroque orchestra dedicated to preserving the heritage of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and his contemporaries through historically informed performances on period instruments.Founded in Belvedere, California in 1989 with the mission of introducing contemporary audiences to Bach's cantatas, co-founder and artistic director Jeffrey Thomas has since expanded the artistic direction of the ensemble to include Bach’s purely instrumental and larger choral masterpieces, as well as music of his contemporaries and that of the early Classical era.
