St Thomas's Church St Thomas's Boys Choir can be enjoyed at St Thomas's Church every Friday a cappella with a motet, and on Saturdays with a Bach cantata and motet performed together with soloists and the Gewandhaus Orchestra (besides during school holidays and concert tours). St Thomas's Boys Choir was founded almost 800 years ago, making it Leipzig's oldest cultural institution. It has been made world-famous over the centuries by a series of well-known choirmasters, including Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Hermann Schein, Johann Kuhnau and Johann Adam Hiller. Its activities centre around the sacred music performed at the weekly church services and motets at St Thomas's Church. The choir can regularly be heard singing oratorios, passions and masses by J.S. Bach. In addition, it also performs sacred vocal music, madrigals and secular a cappella works from the Renaissance to the present day. |
