Volunteer with the Festival!
Volunteers are at the heart of the Carmel Bach Festival. From welcoming guests to helping behind the scenes, our volunteers make it possible for the Festival to celebrate the works, inspiration, and ongoing influence of J.S. Bach each summer. Volunteering is more than just lending a hand—it’s about joining a vibrant community. It’s entertaining and dynamic: the music, the sense of belonging, the friendships (old and new), the parties, the food, and the joy of supporting the arts in our community. Volunteers bring the Festival to life, and we are deeply grateful for their dedication.
What Our Volunteers Do
Our volunteers serve in a wide variety of roles—ushering, scanning tickets, house managing, supporting special events, assisting with performances, and much more. No matter the role, every volunteer contributes to the Festival’s success.
All volunteers have the opportunity to get FREE day-of tickets to any concert (pending availability). Limit of one per person per concert.
