Tenants

There are multiple organizations that call the Sunset Center campus "home." Please see below for a list of our current tenants and their locations.


Carmel Bach Festival

The Carmel Bach Festival began in 1935 as a four-day series of concerts at the Sunset School Auditorium and the Carmel Mission Basilica. Over the years, it grew to a two-week celebration of concerts, recitals, master classes, lectures, and open rehearsals in July. The Festival's mission is to celebrate the works, inspiration and ongoing influence of Johann Sebastian Bach worldwide by immersing audiences in a festival experience integrating music, education and ideas.

Located in Cottage 16 on 10th Avenue between San Carlos and Mission Street.
