Leipzig Connections

An exploration of music from the city that J.S. Bach called home

The first in a multi-year series, this concert centers on Leipzig, Germany, the city where Johann Sebastian Bach lived and worked for the last 27 years of life and produced many of his greatest compositions. The program features Bach’s music alongside the works of those who preceded and followed him, spanning the Baroque through the Romantic eras. The chorus will return to Bach’s cantata Jesu, meine Freude, an audience and singer favorite, and perform works by Schütz, Rheinberger, Reger, and the siblings Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn.
