Join us in June 2024 as we bring The Bach Choir to BachFest and onto the world stage!

We are honored that The Bach Choir is one of 18 Bach choirs on six continents invited to give a featured performance of Bach cantatas in the Thomaskirche, the church in Leipzig where Bach was the cantor from 1723–1750 and is buried. Around the BachFest invitation, we have built a tour in Germany and Austria with additional performances in Herrnhut (birthplace of the Moravian Church), Potsdam, and Schwäbisch-Gmünd (Bethlehem’s
Sister City). This is our first international tour since 2003, and The Choir has not performed in Germany since 1995.
The Choir will broaden its audience, gain increased international recognition, receive irreplaceable musical inspiration, and build unforgettable memories and friendships with world-wide Bach organizations.

“OUR INVITATION to perform at BachFest in Leipzig and to have our concert featured in the eminent Thomaskirche is a singular honor. We want to share the adventure with you! Come celebrate momentous concerts with us, tour historic and culturally important cities, and create your own cherished memories. We hope you can join us!”
