Morning breaks over Leipzig. Artisans open their shops, and the scent of freshly baked bread drifts through the cobbled streets toward St. Thomas Church. The Gothic nave awakens to the sound of Johann Sebastian Bach’s motets—masterpieces of clarity, balance, and emotion, illuminated by the decades of innovation and creativity of his predecessors. Join us for a performance of Bach’s complete motets, expertly complemented by works of Schütz, Gabrieli, Hassler, and Eccard, and discover a choral tradition of extraordinary spiritual power.
