In July 2010, the American Bach Soloists inaugurated North America's newest annual professional training program in Historically Informed Performance Practice. Drawing on their distinguished roster of performers—named "the best American specialists in early music" by The Washington Post—the American Bach Soloists ACADEMY offers advanced conservatory-level students and emerging professionals unique opportunities to study and perform Baroque music in a multi-disciplinary learning environment. In addition to in-depth coachings and technical studies with masters of their particular instruments, string players, wind and brass players, continuo and keyboard players, and singers work together with all faculty members, gaining the perspectives of eminent and highly acclaimed professional artists from a variety of disciplines.

The ACADEMY is held in the San Francisco Conservatory of Music's exquisite facilities, recently opened in the heart of the city's arts district. Located two blocks from Davies Symphony Hall (home of the San Francisco Symphony) and the War Memorial Opera House (home of the San Francisco Opera and San Francisco Ballet companies), the Conservatory offers state-of-the-art performance halls, classrooms, practice rooms, and teaching studios. Each year, American Bach Soloists ACADEMY participants—the next generation of early music virtuosi—rehearse and perform side-by-side with the celebrated artists of the American Bach Soloists, leading to public concerts of chamber music, Baroque opera and oratorio, and annual performances of Bach's Mass in B Minor. Additionally, selected ACADEMY lectures and master classes are open to the public.
