- Abstract (EN)
- In Leipzig you can feel the fascinating power of music everywhere – in the streets and squares, in churches, concert halls and in the many authentic places where famous composers and musicians lived and worked. A long-standing tradition: over 500 composers have lived here over the centuries including the greatest names in music history – Johann Sebastian Bach, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and the married couple Clara and Robert Schumann, as well as Richard Wagner, Edvard Grieg, Albert Lortzing, Gustav Mahler and Hanns Eisler. Music comes to life The rich musical heritage also includes the Gewandhausorchester and the world-renowned St. Thomas Boys Choir, which can look back on over 800 years of history. Leipzig Opera, which has always sought to preserve Wagner’s heritage, is the third oldest civic venue for musical theatre in Europe. In the capital of music, outstanding ensembles and soloists delight audiences at concerts, ballets, the Summer Organ Festival and the world-famous Leipzig Bach Festival. Music festivals that hit a high note Under the headline “BACH – We Are Family”, Leipzig will invite the large, sprawling family of Bach societies and choirs from all over the world to celebrate the life and work of Johann Sebastian Bach during the Bachfest in 2020. From that year onwards, the man responsible for rediscovering Bach, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, will himself be honoured with a festival dedicated to his legacy. And, of course, there are numerous other musical highlights to mark on your calendar, too: the Mahler Festival hosted by the Gewandhausorchester in May 2021 and the WAGNER 22 Opera Festival in June/July 2022. World-famous historic organs Music lovers will also find a host of delights to discover on a trip to the Leipzig Region, where many of the little towns are home to prime examples of the art of organ building. Natural scenery and castles transform into impressive stages for the musical highlights of the BurgenLandKlänge festival. Visit Leipzig and experience for yourself the musical variety of the city and the region. Press date: 31 July 2019
