BLOCH 2030

Celebrating 150 Years of Ernest Bloch

An international celebration of the music, art, life, and legacy of Ernest Bloch.

In 2030, musicians, orchestras, ensembles, conservatories, universities, museums, libraries, scholars, and communities around the world are invited to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Ernest Bloch’s birth.

Throughout the year, Bloch 2030 will bring together performances, recordings, exhibitions, lectures, conferences, publications, and other projects inspired by Bloch and his extraordinary creative life.

Your organization can be part of it.

Planning something?

Tell us about it. Your plans don’t have to be final. We’d love to know what you’re thinking and begin adding organizations and events as Bloch 2030 takes shape.

FIND SOMETHING TO PERFORM

Bloch wrote for orchestra, chorus, chamber ensembles, solo instruments, and voice. Some of his music is performed regularly. Some of it is rarely heard.

One of our biggest goals for 2030 is to change that.

Whether you’re planning an orchestral season, chamber concert, student recital, or recording project, we want to make it easy to find a Bloch work that fits.
