The Ernst Bacon Society was founded in January, 1996 to promote awareness and appreciation of the music and other works of Ernst Bacon. To that end, we arranged a highly successful series of concerts for the centennial year and are looking forward to many more. The Society feels strongly that a closer inspection will reveal a truly remarkable contribution to American music and that the world will be richer for hearing and knowing it.
