In 2006 a partnership was formed between the ProArts Gallery and Bay Area Classical Harmonies (BACH). They each felt it was important to cross artistic genres and expose their patrons to a unique experience where several senses were engaged at a time. Thus, the Last Friday of the Month Concert series was created. BACH, a non-profit organization, has been dedicated to the presentation of fine classical music in the greater San Francisco Bay Area and is now expanding into presenting world music.

Called by some "the most versatile group in the Bay Area," BACH's impressive range of repertoire has included cantatas, symphonies and masses. The Opera division, incorporating stage professionals and up-and-comers, first performed at the Julia Morgan Center for the Arts, presenting a concert version of Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaro" in December 2000. Since its inception in 1998 by graduate and undergraduate students of the Music Department of UC Berkeley, BACH has cultivated young musical talent through the performance of great classical works for audiences in the Bay Area and beyond. The group attained non-profit status in May 2002, promoting professionalism and providing tax benefits to its donors.
