Excerpt: The City of Bath Bach Choir (CBBC), based in Bath, Somerset, England, is a choir, founded in October 1946 by Cuthbert Bates, who was also a founding father of the Bath Bach Festival in 1950. The choir gave its inaugural concert in June 1947 in Bath Abbey, a performance of J. S. Bach's great Mass in B Minor. Cuthbert Bates, as well as the founder, was also the choir's principal conductor. He was an amateur musician with a great love and understanding of the works of J. S. Bach. The Choir's original aim was to promote Bach's music by means of periodic festivals of music dedicated to the works of J. S. Bach. The first President of the CBBC was Dr Ralph Vaughan Williams OM. Sir Arthur Bliss CH KCVO KT, then Master of the Queen's Music, took over as President in 1959 followed by Sir David Willcocks KCB CBE MC, in 1975, who remains the choir's current President.
