​History

BACH, Boston Arts Consortium for Health, was created in 2009 to bring together leaders in the field of arts and healthcare. BACH members meet bi-monthly to share interests and best practices. In October 2010, BACH held its first conference, "The Arts of Compassion," that was hosted by Berklee College of Music and Longwood Symphony Orchestra.
