With apologies to those who have already received it, I am happy to forward to you an announcement that was sent to those of us who are members of The American Bach Society by the ABS Secretary-Treasurer, Matthew Dirst, together with the pdf file with complete information about the newly formed Bach Network UK:
ABS members,
Please see the announcement below of a new organization in the UK
devoted to our favorite composer.

>Dear Matthew

>I am writing to ask if it might be possible for you to forward
>electronically the enclosed invitation to members of the American
>Bach Society. You may have heard that Bach Network UK was recently
>formed by Reinhard Strohm, John Butt and myself, and that Lawrence
>Dreyfus has recently joined our Trustees. We have just launched our
>first web journal, /Understanding Bach,/ and we would like your
>members to be able to participate in the dialogue that we are
>generating. The website is: www.bachnetwork.co.uk and
>/Understanding Bach /can be found under Publications. Membership
>is free and all details are secure (please read our Privacy Policy).
>As you know John Butt will be speaking at the ABS meeting later this
>month, and I will be attending too. It would be very good if the
>membership invitation could have gone out to ABS members before then
>so that John and I can generate further interest during the Leipzig
>conference.
>Many thanks for your help.
>With best wishes

The Face Of Bach
"Those in charge are odd and ambivalent towards music, which means I have to live with almost non-stop vexation, envy, and persecution."
Johann Sebastian Bach, October 28, 1730
