MISSION STATEMENT

Bringing laughter, hope, and inspiration through the music of Bach,
together with poetry and stories,
to traditional and non traditional audiences.

Bach With Verse is a new nonprofit corporation. It uses the unique talents and performance experience of Richard Hartshorne (Dobbs)
to bring music and laughter into venues that need more of both.  It offers under-served audiences an intimate musical experience that
changes ideas about music through enjoyable and unusual programs. Children feel and learn about music up close, with plenty of
opportunity to ask questions and be taught and entertained.  Prison programs offer inmates and staff hope and inspiration through
music and laughter. It is a small organization with Richard Hartshorne, CEO and performer, and Sarah Jacques, Administrator.




Programs can be performed anywhere for any audience.  
Venues include schools, prisons, churches, theatres, homes, and concert halls.

It is the goal of Bach With Verse to give this experience to as many people as possible
but particularly to those who would not be able to have it without support from generous donors.
