ABOUT THE EVENT

This evening’s concert programme draws on the one that the Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys will perform at the BachFest in Leipzig in June, 2012.

The Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys has been invited to perform at the BachFest in Leipzig’s famed Thomaskirche (St. Thomas Church), home of Germany’s Thomanerchor which was founded in 1212, and the final resting place of J.S. Bach, who served as its cantor from 1723 until his death in 1750. The choir's concert programme features motets by Bach as well as by Johann Kuhnau who preceded Bach as Thomaskirche’s cantor and by Johann Adam Hiller who served in that post from 1789 until 1801.The program also includes works from the 16th century to the present day by noted British composers, Sheppard, Gibbons, Byrd, Britten, Jonathan Harvey and James MacMillan.
