Cottages, Gardens & Cantatas, our beloved fundraising home and garden tour, returns this spring! This one-day event features five beautiful homes, all located in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

We need volunteers to help make the day a success! As a volunteer, you’ll have the chance to greet enthusiastic guests eager to explore these charming homes. Plus, many of the homes will feature live performances by talented young musicians playing classical and Baroque music—an extra treat to enjoy during your shift!

Your support is essential in making this fundraiser a wonderful experience for all. Join us for a day of music, community, and stunning homes!

Why Volunteer with the Carmel Bach Festival?

It’s entertaining and dynamic—the music, the sense of community and belonging! It's a great way to make new friends and a fun thing to do with old friends. The parties, the talent, the networking, the food, the people, the ability to support your community, learn something new, and re-discover something old all are benefits of volunteering.

Volunteers support the Festival’s mission of celebrating the works, inspiration, and ongoing influence of J.S. Bach, and we invite you to join our team. If you have questions about volunteering with the Festival, contact Volunteer Coordinator Barbara Johnson at 831.624.1521 extension 112 (office), at 831.277.4355 (cell), or by email at [email protected]

Come join our Volunteer Family and meet our new Executive Director Nathan Lutz. Enjoy the camaraderie of old friends and make new ones along the way!
