The Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society, a non profit organization that has been presenting Sunday afternoon headliner Jazz and Classical Music with an ocean view since 1964. The Bach Society is a major contributor to the San Francisco live jazz scene by presenting national touring jazz concerts and classical performances in an intimate venue. According to the musicians, the Douglas Beach House is “the best small venue in the United States.” Founder, Pete Douglas, says, “We bring a chamber approach to music in a casual beachfront setting, respectful of both the artist and the audience.” All performances are open to the public and partially supported by members and contributors. Located directly on Miramar Beach in Half Moon Bay, 45 minutes from San Francisco and Silicon Valley, the Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society is an intimate live music venue presenting Sunday afternoon headliner Jazz, Classical and World Music. We bring a concert approach to Jazz music, with a club ambiance. There is a communal feeling to the Beach House and Concert Room, a room that brings the musicians and audience together in a special way. As a registered non-profit since 1964, the Bach is partially supported through memberships, but is not member-only. It is open to the public seeking the artistic and musical styles that may interest them. Though not a bar or restaurant operation, we cater a light buffet and have a wine and beer bar. You can bring your beverages into the Concert Room. Patrons may also bring their own picnics if they confine their eating to the outer decks, weather permitting. Our motivation is for everybody to have a musical experience. Yes, we clear out the chairs and dance occasionally.
