 Mission/Description
“To grow and continue as a vital cultural force, appealing to diverse audiences through excellent performances of traditional and innovative musical and dramatic works.”  Bach Choir of Pittsburgh was founded in 1934 to perform works of Johann Sebastian Bach exclusively. Under the leadership of Conductor and Artistic Director Thomas W. Douglas, the choir continues to evolve from a narrowly-focused ensemble to a larger, more inclusive choir that performs major choral works by composers from the Renaissance through the contemporary period. Since its inception the Bach Choir has grown from 60 singers to over 100, with a 16-person core of paid professional singers.

 Mission/Description
Mission:  Making artful use of what's at hand, Bricolage uses the distinctive resources of the Pittsburgh region to create theatrical events that stimulate a heightened sense of involvement for the audience.

 Artistic Vision:  What excites Bricolage is the connection and interaction between seemingly disparate elements.  "What's at hand" not only refers to the definition of bricolage, but also to existing sites within our city's changing landscape, and to human and material resources.  What's at hand can certainly also mean salient political, cultural, historical and contemporary issues that we may encounter and react to each day. Whether a new approach to a classic play or in collaboration with new works, Bricolage seeks out environments where these various components can resonate as one cohesive event, an encounter designed to inspire, incite, and amend in the form of theater.  The goal of Bricolage is to connect what's at hand,       encourage artists to take creative risks together and to provide the audience a full bodied and high quality theatrical experience.
