MTACOOC participates in the Southern California Junior Bach Festival, which is a project to encourage the study of the music of J.S. Bach. Branch Festivals are held annually, from which outstanding students are chosen to perform in the Regional Festivals and possibly the Complete Works Audition finals round. Student applications are available online from November 1 at www.scjbf.org. Contributory members must enter the Bach Branch Festival in their primary (home) Branch, unless that Branch does not hold a Bach Festival.
