Gewandhausorchester & Thomanerchor

Gewandhausorchester and Thomanerchor perform at Thomaskirche in Leipzig on Friday, 11 December 2026. This is one of five German dates for the orchestra in this cycle. Thomaskirche is a Gothic church in the old city, its history reaching back to the 13th century. The venue holds deep significance for European musical heritage - Johann Sebastian Bach served as cantor here for over two decades and is buried within its walls. A contemporary performance in this historic space bridges tradition with living musical practice.
