Thomanerchor Leipzig

The Thomanerchor Leipzig can look back on a history of over 800 years. Composers from all eras have written works for the famous choir. The motets by Johann Sebastian Bach, the most famous St Thomas‘ cantor in its long history, are just as much a part of the core repertoire of the Thomanerchor as many choral works by other St Thomas’ cantors. In this concert, the choir presents a cross-section of choral music from all eras, with works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Samuel Scheidt, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and contemporary motets by Ivo Antognini, Ko Matsushitas and John Rutter, among others.
