Weaving mathematics into cosmic delight

Bachtoberfest was a month-long classical music festival dedicated to Awesome Music (music that actually inspires awe).

Bachtoberfest 2012 brought together awesome-music otaku from around the internet to celebrate Bach together. We gathered in bars, hung out in basements, filmed in our living rooms and walked the streets of pre-super-storm New York. We recorded from hotel rooms in Helsinki and on alternative instruments. We played with family, friends and strangers. Together we created bachtoberfest.org.
