Leipzig Bach Festival

During the Bach Festival, Leipzig presents the multifaceted works of the baroque composer and highlights his close ties to the city. For more than 20 years, Johann Sebastian Bach was the cantor of St. Thomas Church in Leipzig. Today's Bach Festival sees internationally acclaimed musicians such as Masaaki Suzuki, Marcus Creed and Ton Koopman, together with Leipzig's famous St. Thomas choir and Gewandhaus Orchestra, honour the great composer at locations where he lived or worked.
